Tosha Schareina, who was 2nd in the general rankings this morning, fell at the beginning of the stage. Daniel Sanders’ closest pursuer lost 3’42’’ to the Australian, who strengthens his lead over the Spaniard.

“Today, I had a big crash at the beginning, more ore less after 20 km. I then didn’t have too much visibility with the sand and the early morning light. After that, Ricky caught up with me and we rode together until the end. I lost plenty of time but it’s part of the game. Now, everything is clear and I’m ready for tomorrow. My shoulder is good. After that crash, if you are all okay and continue riding then it’s super good, so I’m happy for that. For sure, after a crash like that, your body is in pain but I think it’s part of the game. Now I’m going to try and enjoy my rest this afternoon and get ready”.
