UAE Team Emirates set up the decisive move on the penultimate stage. Pellizzari won the stage and Del Toro finished second. Currently, Del Toro has a 52-second lead with one stage remaining.
The final stage features three ascents of the Jagerhaus. From a tactical perspective, repetitive punchy climbs can shift the dynamic if the lead team fails to manage the gaps smoothly. Efficient energy expenditure on the ascent is critical, as erratic surges often invite counter-attacks.
Can UAE defend this margin across the three climbs, or will the repetitive nature of the Jagerhaus allow the chasing teams to overturn the lead?
