CRO Race 2019 – Stage 5 – Rabac – Platak : 138 km
The Tour of Croatia is a men’s cycling stage race that takes place in Croatia. It is part of the UCI Europe Tour and is rated by the UCI as a 2.HC event, the second tier of professional stage races.
Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) won stage 5 of the CRO Race, triumphing on the summit finish of Platak and taking over the race lead. The Brit finished ten seconds ahead of Davide Villella (Astana) and Victor de la Parte (CCC Team).
“The team was so good today and the whole week. We’ve been fighting for a stage and finally we got it today,” Yates said in a team press release. “This was always the main stage for me, most of the other stages were sprint stages.”
Yates now leads the race with one stage remaining. He lies 15 seconds up on Villella and 17 seconds up on De la Parte. Andrey Zeits (Astana) lies fourth overall, 33 seconds down.
“After the Canadian Classics and before the Italian Classics, this race fit into the calendar perfectly so here we are and here we are with a victory,” Yates said.
“It’s a good day and hopefully it’ll be a good week. One more day tomorrow.”
The racing continues for the stage 6 finale, a 154km from Sveta Nedelja to Zagreb, that will close out the CRO Race.
