Lanterne Rouge: A Grueling Stage 20 at the Welter
The Welter is known for its challenging uphill finishes, and stage 20 was no exception. Riders faced a tough climb from Lono to Alto de Monal, featuring multiple HC mountains. Enrik M was one to watch, with his climbing prowess potentially putting him in a good position for the stage. With a 9km, 9% finish after what seemed like an easy day, the steep climb on a big road was set to test the riders.
As the stage unfolded, it became evident that the breakaway stage may not materialize, as teams like Red Bull Bora were keen on setting up the stage for their rider, Rogich. The break with riders like Mahalovich and Deloro was reeled in at the base of the climb, with Bora showcasing their intentions early on. With riders like Alotti and Rouer Adria leading the charge, the group was whittled down to around 25 riders, with multiple teams represented.
One of the key moments in the race came when Martinez took over the pacing duties, signaling a shift towards a more aggressive approach. With 6km left on the climb, the intensity picked up, and riders like Florian Lipitz found themselves struggling to keep pace. The dynamics of the race began to change, with riders thinking strategically about their positioning and tactics.
A pivotal moment came when Carapaz launched an attack, putting pressure on the group behind him. M, who was ahead on GC, found himself in a challenging position, with the draft benefits of the group playing a significant role in the decision-making process. As the pace intensified, riders like Gudu and Vlasov made their moves, setting the stage for a thrilling finale.
As the race entered the final kilometers, Rogich made his move, establishing a significant gap over his rivals. M, who was looking to solidify his position, found himself isolated as the pace ramped up. Carapaz’s attack further splintered the group, with Ok Conor trying to hold his ground amidst the chaos.
In the end, it was RIT who emerged victorious, securing his third stage win of the Welter. With a commanding lead and the red jersey in his sights, RIT showcased his dominance on the mountainous terrain. The podium battle heated up, with Ok Conor losing time and M making a calculated effort to distance himself from his rivals.
The stage results reshuffled the standings, with RIT taking the red jersey and Schelmoa claiming the white jersey. The intense competition and tactical maneuvers added to the drama of the Welter, setting the stage for an exciting finish in Madrid. As the riders prepare for the final time trial, the battle for the podium intensifies, promising a thrilling conclusion to the race.
