Ben O’Connor si è inventato una splendida fuga bidone nella sesta tappa della Vuelta di Spagna: l’australiano ha attaccato da lontano in una frazione di 185,5 km particolarmente mossi e ha trionfato in solitaria a Yunquera, con un vantaggio di quasi sette minuti nei confronti del gruppo.
L’alfiere della Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale ha così ribaltato la classifica generale e ora è balzato di forza al comando della graduatoria, indossando in maniera perentoria la maglia rossa e cullando grandi sogni di gloria. Stiamo parlando di un ciclista dotato di ottime qualità e che davvero potrebbe tenere duro in terra iberica: gli annunciati big della vigilia dovranno seriamente adoperarsi nei prossimi giorni se vorranno scalzarlo dalla vetta.
Lo sloveno Primoz Roglic è infatti a 4’51” di ritardo, il portoghese Joao Almeida si trova a 4’59”, il tedesco Florian Lipowitz a 5’18”, gli spagnoli Enric Mas e Cristian Rodriguez rispettivamente a 5’23” e 5’26”. Antonio Tiberi è settimo a 5’29”, in piena lotta per salire sul podio finale. Di seguito la classifica generale della Vuelta a España 2024 al termine della sesta tappa.
