Team Vorarlberg pro Alexis Guerin secures the mountain jersey early on the queen stage – Tour winner Jonas Vingegaard new leader!
The fifth stage from Opatija to Labin over 154 kilometres with 2920 metres of altitude difference was the stage in which the overall classification was once again turned upside down.
Also on day five there was no leading group without Team Vorarlberg. The first climb of the day was a real challenge. All the riders who still had a chance in the overall standings were at
the front of the field.
Alexis Guerin defends his lead in the overall classification and finishes excellent 14th in the day’s classification!
At the final climb in Labin, Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) was able to break away from his opponents and won ahead of Oscar Onley (Development Team DSM) and Matej Mohorič
(Bahrain – Victorious). Alexis Guerin finished in an excellent 14th place.
Alexis Guerin collected more valuable points for the mountain classification and secured the overall classification early.
The sixth and last stage leads tomorrow, Sunday, from Sveta Nedelja over 158 kilometres to Zagreb.
