Before a last titanic stage between Eibar and Arrate, the day of Friday April 8, between Zamudio and Mallabia, seems made for a breakaway to finally go to the end in this Tour of the Basque Country. After three finishes settled by the sprint leaders, who saw Julian Alaphilippe, Pello Bilbao and Daniel Felipe Martinez win in turn, the adventurers hope to finally cross the finish line before everyone else.
On the side of the favorites, it will not be a cakewalk either. The last few days have been punctuated by attacks and there is no reason for this to end on Friday. In general, Remco Evenepoel, still threatens the yellow jersey Primoz Roglic, and has only five seconds to stop. Julian Alaphilippe has not said his last word either. He even came back into the dance thanks to the bonuses and was 22 seconds behind the leader at the start of this fifth stage.
