Having moved into the overall lead of the race on yesterday’s stage to Valle Castellana, Jonas Vingegaard sealed his general classification victory at Tirreno-Adriatico with a dominant stage win on the slopes of Monte Petrano on stage six.
The Visma-Lease a Bike rider further extended his lead over both Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) and Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) in the overall standings, as he attacked away from both of them with around 6km to go, with neither of them able to go with him.
Vingegaard now leads the general classification by a minute and 24 seconds going into the final stage around San Benedetto del Tronto tomorrow, which is expected to be a stage for the sprinters, meaning that barring any crashes he will win the race overall.
