Alvaro Jose Hodeg (COL - Deceuninck - Quick Step) is once again beaten by Juan Molano (COL - UAE - Team Emirates)

Third win in five stages for Juan Molano (COL - UAE - Team Emirates): “The finish was very complicated, given the technical final. It is thanks to the teamwork and the experience of teammates like Henao and Richeze that I was able to win: Max was once again fantastic, without him I wouldn’t be here as the winner. Hodeg is very strong and today he launched with great power, but I also have good legs and I have taken advantage of the team’s work, so in the sprint I did not have any doubts and I could overcome my rivals.”
