Mikel Azparren goes solo, but without success.
On the climb Torralba del Pinar the peloton is down to 30 riders when Tolhoek attacks. Evenepoel takes over.
Vlasov tries to bridge across to the Flemish youngster, but to no avail. On the contrary, Evenepoel widens the gap when the route flattens out in the last 4 kilometres.
