Levico Terme, 19 April 2024 – La stage 5as well as the last one of Tour of the Alps 2024 leads the caravan from Levico Terme to Levico Terme After 118.6kmwhere two festivals are celebrated: the larger one of Juan Pedro Lopezwho won the edition by climbing onto the podium ahead of Ben O’Connor And Antonio Tiberiand that of Aurélien Paret-Peintre. The latter precedes the Lazio player at the finish line, once again perhaps damaged by friendly fire Wout Poels and from the lack of clarity at home Bahrain Victorious: not bad, because the signals provided in view of the Giro d’Italia 2024 they are excellent.
The news
Thanks to a very flat first part of the route, the escape doesn’t go away, with Tobias Foss (Ineos Grenadiers) who passes first to the flying finish line of Caldonazzo: the Norwegian continues his action, trailing behind Kyrylo Tsarenko (Team Corratec-Vini Fantini), Charles Paige (TDT-Unibet Cycling Team) e Lukas Postlberger (Team Austria). The group closes but the race still heats up on the first pass on the climb Palù del Fersina (12.5km with an average slope of 6.2%): the first shot is from Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), followed by Giulio Pellizzari (VF Group-Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè), Hugh John Carthy (EF Education-EasyPost) e Mikel Bizkarra (Euskaltel-Euskadi). The latter cannot keep the wheels of the outriders, led by Carthy, which passes to the GPM first. The second climb of Palù del Fersina sees the attempt of the three in front, with the forty-year-old, come to an end Luis Angel Maté (Euskaltel-Euskadi) to shoot, soon imitated by Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious). Then he tries Wout Poels (Bahrain Victorious), which reaches a maximum advantage of over 30” before losing everything on the way down. The GPMs are over, but there’s still the Tenna passon which the big names try their last skirmishes both for the final victory, which rewards careful attention Juan Pedro Lopez (Lidl-Trek) both for the stage one, which rewards Aurélien Paret-Peintre (Decathlon AG2R The World Team): once again bad Bahrain Victorious, with Tiberi second on arrival and third in the general classification, not without regrets due to the lack of clarity with Poels.
