However, the UAE Team Emirates &#8211; XRG rider couldn&#8217;t conquer the queen stage as he was defeated once again by <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/giulio-ciccone\" title=\"Giulio Ciccone\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Giulio Ciccone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The day&#8217;s breakaway was formed by Carlos Garc\u00eda Pierna, Mathijs Paasschens, Txomin Juaristi, Nico Denz and Samuele Zoccarato. It wasn&#8217;t to be the winning move of the day but it forced the peloton to ride a good pace throughout the day and the last survivors would last quite a long way to the stage.<\/p>\n<p>On the penultimate ascent of the day Garc\u00eda Pierna went up the road in front, on a climb whose final 1.5 kilometers averaged over 10%, and he was joined by Afonso Eul\u00e1lio who attacked from the peloton and tried to pull off another surprise win for Bahrain &#8211; Victorious. The Portuguese climber went solo but was then caught in the first kilometers of the final 6-kilometer climb to Lagunas de Neila where the overall classification was always expected to be decided.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe main favourites didn&#8217;t leave it to the end to attack either as Isaac del Toro moved with 2.9 kilometers to go, followed by Giulio Ciccone &#8211; the same that had happened at the Cl\u00e1sica San Sebasti\u00e1n. Race leader L\u00e9o Bisiaux was put into difficulty and so was Giulio Pellizzari. The Italian recovered from his stage 1 to win the queen stage, whilst Del Toro with his second place managed to win the overall classification, distancing his direct rivals. <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/lorenzo-fortunato\" title=\"Lorenzo Fortunato\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lorenzo Fortunato<\/a> rode to third on the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Isaac del Toro is on a brilliant season thus far and after having climbed a lot in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55503,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-55502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cycling","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55502"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55502\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
