And sometimes the last bullet in the chamber is the good one.

Numbers 1 and 522, First and penultimate, they close a race that has been decided by the smallest margin in the entire history of the event: 12 seconds. The winner of the stage was Pablo Guerrero, Herrero’s partner, which achieved the fourth win in six stages for the riders of the Cannondale TB team.
