Il danese Tobias Lund Andresen (DSM Fimenich) ha conquistato la 4^ tappa della CRO Race, la Krk-Labin di 160 chilometri, superando a pochi metri dal traguardo Edoardo Zambanini (Bahrain Victorious) che aveva dato l'impressione di farcela ben lanciato dal compagno Fred Wright. Chiude il podio il norvegese Odd Christian Eiking della Uno X. Settimo Brandon McNulty, che conserva il primato in classifica generale dove precede proprio Andresen e Zambanini. 

CRONACA

I 126 corridori prendono il via della "tappa regina" dall'isola del golfo del Quarnaro, placido luogo di vacanza dal tipico fascino est-adriatico, per passare sulla terraferma dopo cinquanta chilometri attraverso il Ponte di Veglia. Ad affrontare questo ventoso passaggio al comando sono i battistrada Andreas Leknessund (Uno X), Hugo Aznar (Kern Pharma), Ryan Mullen (Red Bull Bora), Robert Stannard (Bahrain Victorious) e Tim Marsman (Metec Solarwatt) che festeggia il 24° compleanno in avanscoperta.

Il quintetto fa rotta su Fiume e sull'Istria con tre minuti di margine, ma sulla scalata verso Poklon perdono le ruote Marsman e Mullen mentre dal gruppo evade un drappello di 23 uomini: Anders Foldager (Jayco AlUla) David De la Cruz (Q36.5) Marcin Budzinski (Mazowsze Serce Polski) Odd Christian Eiking (Uno X) Fernando Barcelò (Caja Rural) Warren Barguil (DSM Firmenich) Piotr Pekala (Santic Wibatech) Frederik Wandahl e Alexander Hajek (Red Bull Bora) Mirco Maestri e Mattia Bais (Polti Kometa) Jose Parra, Ibai Azanza e Pablo Castrillo (Kern Pharma) la maglia rossa McNulty insieme a Igor Arrieta (UAE) Edoardo Zambanini, Fred Wright e Fran Miholjevic (Bahrain Victorious) Kim Heiduk, Michael Leonard, Ben Turner e Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) che nella successiva discesa si tocca con Arrieta e cade sul guard-rail.

Uscito purtroppo di scena Ganna, intanto Aznar attende gli inseguitori per aiutare i compagni a dare la caccia a Leknessund e Stannard in superiorità numerica. Missione compiuta poco prima di affrontare lo strappetto di Nedescina: lì nessuno allunga, ma subito dopo in falsopiano ai -9 Turner prova a cogliere tutti di sorpresa. L'inglese viene acciuffato ai piedi del temibile muro finale di 500 metri sul pavé di Albona (così si chiamava in italiano l'abitato dov'è approdata oggi la gara) nel quale prende vita un'appassionante e complicata corsa al successo.
