Groenewegen takes the final stage
A crash in the last kilometre of the stage reduced the front group, but Izagirre as well as all sprinters were able to come out unscathed. The Astana pro then cruised to the finish line and easily defended his lead. In the last stretch, it seemed that Trentin would claim the stage win. In the end, however, he was unable to keep Kristoff and Groenewegen behind him. The Dutchman proved his great form and with a late push, he managed to claim the victory by a wheel’s length.
