The ninth stage is the most difficult alpine stage since the beginning of the race, with multiple difficult climbs on the way, and the peak focus, the highest slope reached 27%, which can be described as a wall climbing stage.
In this wall-climbing stage, several drivers broke through from the beginning, including Karapaz, who was the main player but lost a lot of time. Of course, the enemy did not let go of Kalpaz because of the previous time difference, and Effinepur personally pursued it. Finally, after many offensive pulls, Mainchez and 9 others formed a breakout group.
After that, the rapid pace released the rabbits that threatened the overall performance of the main group in the main group riding control field, and the time difference was once stretched to 5 minutes. In the final climb, Mainchez overtook the two opponents who attacked first and won the championship alone.
Although the overall result of the drivers released the rabbit to win the championship, the fight between them was still fierce. In the last 3 kilometers, Ayuso attacked, followed by Efinepur, Maas and Roglic. Effinepur then fought back and started the Little Ai train again.
This time it was finally no longer two or three small trains, Xiao Ai threw away Mas and others who had followed him many times before, and happily opened his favorite single flying rhythm, expanding the lead of the total result, and pulling away from the opponent by 30 seconds to 1 minute. Ayusso was the best driver in the overall result, and Roglic was 52 seconds behind. This time in the West, the young drivers are really good, and the state must be maintained!
