Danny van Poppel said the last kilometer(s) should fit him well

 

LottoNL didn't study the last kilometer I think..

Saez, Cubero and Machado have a 12 minute lead now with only 90k to go.

We're finishing in the 'birthplace' of a certain GC rider by the way, La Covatilla

 

In 2011 Dan Martin outsprinted Bauke Mollema for the win there, but in the same lead group were Juan Jose Cobo (who won the Vuelta, haha) and the unknown British rider Chris Froome....who finished somewhere way down the standings between the sprinters in the Tour of Poland a bit earlier, and now suddenly climbed with the very best and rode his sickness-filled body to 2nd place in the GC
