Race Recap
Treæen wins stage 4
Breakaway rider Torstein Træen went solo in the last 10 kilometres of the massive Gotthard Pass. Adam Yates attacked from the GC group, but he fell short, and the Norwegian took the stage. Yates is the new leader in the GC.
Attacks flew for 20 kilometres before the right move was made by Torstein Træen, Silvan Dillier, Bryan Coquard, Lilian Calmejane, Gerben Kuypers, Michael Matthews, Roland Thalmann and Jan Sommer. The eight carved out a maximum lead of seven minutes.
The gap fell to five minutes when Træen, Thalmann, and Dillier headed out together within the last 20 kilometres. The latter lost contact several kilometres later before Træen dropped Thalmann just before the final haul up of 10 kilometres.
Halfway up the finishing climb, Isaac del Toro hit the deck. He took down the number three in GC, Wilco Kelderman, who is then forced to chase.
Meanwhile, Kelderman’s GC rivals were speeding up. Adam Yates attacked from the GC group in the last four kilometres. He closed in on the lone attacker. Behind him, Mattias Skjelmose, Egan Bernal, and João Almeida opened the chase as well.
Yates fell 23 seconds short of the stage win, which went to the soloist, Træen who took the biggest win in his career.
By finishing in second, Yates moved into the overall race lead, 26 seconds ahead of his teammate João Almeida and the defending champion Mattias Skjelmose.
