Pogacar works for team-mates

Pogacar had pulled out all the stops for Covi in the final kilometres of the demanding finale to give him the day's victory, but the 24-year-old Italian was no match for Fraile's attack. Third place went to Andrea Pasqualon (Bahrain-Victorious).

However, Pogacar's overall victory was no longer in danger. The two-time Tour de France winner is in impressive early form, which he demonstrated with stage wins on stages one, two and four and with his triumph in the one-day race Clasica Jaen Paraiso Interior impressively demonstrated on Monday.
