Evenepoel Impresses in the Mountains | Itzulia Basque Country Stage 6
Remco Evenepoel started the last stage of Itzulia Basque Country as a GC leader with a slim margin over the other GC contenders. Despite producing his best 15 minute power in a race on Krabelin and catching the leaders before the final climb, Arrate, it was not enough for the isolated Belgian to defend the leader's jersey. Daniel Martinez, who was dropped on the descent off Krabelin but came back with Evenepoel's help on the flat, won the GC, while Ion Izagirre, despite crashing on Arrate, recovered to win the final stage.
