The leaders did not allow for any surprises. Herrero won in a sprint and so did Ram\u00edrez. Everything seems open for the \u0160koda We Love Cycling stage. Can\u2019t wait!

The sun rises brightly every morning in the desert. It emerges from between the dunes, illuminating everything at once. Today, it seemed dimmer. The routine was the same: wake up at 6 a.m., have breakfast, and get ready to leave. But the atmosphere was different. Everything was centred on the minute of silence that the race capsule dedicated to Ernesto Escolano. The silence turned into emotional and effusive applause, in memory of the Titan who left us, unfortunately, yesterday.<\/p>\n
Perhaps with this in mind, the peloton rode a little slower than on the previous three days. They arrived at the first checkpoint very grouped in the lead and the attempts to navigate by some of the riders did not bear fruit in the long run. With 116 kilometres of the stage ahead, the GC favourites decided to take it easy and not force attacks that might later make them suffer.<\/p>\n
