The overall leader played it safe in the penultimate stage, using his margin over Pablo Quintanilla to stay on top of things.

"I rode defensively today. I went at 70% to avoid pushing man and machine too hard. I'm happy to be here, and now I'm mainly thinking of getting over the finish line. Tomorrow could be a great day, I just want to keep this good vibe going."
