The day after their success in the team time trial, the peloton faced a treacherous stage from Tarragona to Barcelona. The focus was on the local circuit, where the Montju\u00efc and the C\u00f4te du Stade Olympique had to be climbed three times. After the breakaway riders were reeled in, the pace was ramped up considerably on the first climb.<\/p>\n
The peloton was severely thinned out, and in the end around forty riders remained to contest the stage victory. In the final meters of the climb, Isaac del Toro accelerated, with his team-mate Tadej Pogacar following in his wake. Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel managed to hold on and crossed the finish line at the same time as the UAE Team Emirates duo.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The day after their success in the team time trial, the peloton faced a treacherous stage from Tarragona…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675929,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[225924,4985,225923,101,225925,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-675928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-but-fell-just-short-of-a-place-in-the-top-three-vingegaard-crossed-the-line-in-fourth-place","tag-cycling","tag-jonas-vingegaard-has-impressively-retained-his-yellow-leaders-jersey-the-29-year-old-dane-was-in-contention-for-the-stage-win-during-a-gruelling-finale","tag-sports","tag-thereby-retaining-the-leaders-jersey","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675928","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=675928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675928\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
