After a week on the roads of the Basque Country, the riders have an appointment on Saturday April 9 for the queen stage, between Eibar and Arrate. The day after the victory of the young Spaniard Carlos Rodriguez, which allowed Remco Evenepoel to recover the yellow jersey from Primoz Roglic, the suspense is total in the general. He is only two seconds ahead of Daniel Felipe Martinez.
The terrain of this last stage is a priori conducive to attacks. The menu will be raised with three first category passes, including the final climb of Usartza. Last year, David Gaudu won ahead of Slovenian Primoz Roglic, who let him win the stage to thank him for helping him distance the other competitors in the general standings. Beaten on Friday, can the French get up and repeat last year’s performance?
