The Flat Before the Climb CdD28
While the race had already been over six categorized climbs, it was still the flat piece of road before the final climb of the day. At least once they summit the next climb, they will have almost twenty hours before they will have to ride up another mountain. This was the last of those that had formed the early break of over twenty riders, this quintet was comprised of Cyril Gautier (Ag2r La Mondiale), Dayer Quintana (Movistar), Andriy Grivko (Astana), Bartosz Huzarski (Bora-Argon 18) and Enrico Gesparotto (Wanty-Groupe Gobert). At this point they still had roughly two minutes on those behind, but the 15 kilometers of climbing to come could eat that time up rather quickly.
