The break will make it there without getting caught, ensuring most of the Ciclamino points are hoovered up, but there will still be one point to fight over if Magnier and Narv\u00e1ez fancy it.<\/p>\n<p>2026-05-28T14:35:25.121Z<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-54ab93c5-39b6-43a8-b6f6-f990c93d619d\">Eul\u00e1lio is still chasing, but getting closer to the peloton.

Ciccone is arguably the most explosive puncheur in the race (save for maybe Narv\u00e1ez), and is just about as desperate for a stage win as Milan is.<\/p>\n<p>2026-05-28T14:29:54.538Z<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-8f3c37d4-19b6-4b83-9899-03c59e9ba96c\">It\u2019s interesting to note that Lidl-Trek have been using Walscheid and Consonni to lead the peloton throughout the day, who they normally save until the final lead-out. They must have deduced that they are unlikely to survive the final climb, and therefore be of no use to Milan come the sprint, and are therefore instead holding back their stronger climbers to help him in the finale.<\/p>\n<p>2026-05-28T14:27:39.306Z<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-e241cbbd-69c0-4c9b-91fd-6713758af5fd\">The terrain is trickier from here until the finish.

As strong as their remaining riders are, they don\u2019t have the numbers to control the peloton without burning through too many before the climb, and Narv\u00e1ez will need teammates to both position him and lead-out if he is to plan the perfect attack.<\/p>\n<p>2026-05-28T13:44:28.117Z<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-c3673c97-8c29-4762-a777-1464d8cbd72a\">There are three teams riding at the front of the peloton &#8211; Lidl-Trek, NSN, and, interesting, UAE Team Emirates XRG.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a sign that Narv\u00e1ez wants to go for the stage win, this time from the peloton rather than the breakaway.
