CRO Race – The 5th stage, Milan will have to work hard to resist Vingaard
After already four days spent in Croatia, the suspense still remains for the final victory over the CRO Race. Behind the very solid Jonathan Milano (Bahrain Vivtorious), who won the victories and took power thanks to the bonuses, 26 riders still stand in less than a minute in the general classification! But things could well settle this Saturday during a 5th stage once again hilly and very undecided. Six climbs will be listed throughout the 154 kilometers between Opatija and Labin, where the finish will be judged after a final bump. The opportunity for a puncher-climber to raise his arms, and to Jonas Vingegaard (Jumo-Visma), runner-up and pushed back 10″ the day before the Italian leader, to finally take control of the Croatian event?
