Secondo timbro norvegese nella Cro Race: il veterano Alexander Kristoff (Uno X) fa sua la volata della 5^ tappa da Bosiljevo a Karlovac davanti a Oded Kogut (Israel Premier Tech) e Giovanni Lonardi (Polti Kometa) che con quest'altro podio non si riprende la maglia blu ma continua a indossarla al posto del detentore Tobias Andresen, 4° al photofinish proprio dietro Lonardi. Kristoff aveva vinto pure la frazione d'apertura.

CRONACA

Secondo accorciamento di percorso nella settimana croata: alcuni pesanti allagamenti costringono l'organizzazione a ridurre questa penultima giornata a un centinaio di chilometri di 167 previsti in origine. Dopo una decina vanno via tre uomini che non costituiscono pericolo alcuno nella generale: Charlie Paige (TDT Unibet) Tomasz Budzinski (Mazowsze Serce Polski) Jordan Habets (Metec Solarwatt) che però non hanno fatto i conti con la volontà della DSM Firmenich di ricucire per permettere alla maglia bianca Andresen di balzare in testa alla classifica a punti sul traguardo volante di Josipdol al km 35.

Lì riparte un duo olandese di formazioni già viste in precedenza: Jelle Johannik della TDT Unibet e Tim Marsman della Metec Solarwatt, compagno di squadra della maglia verde dei GPM Axel Van der Tuuk. Hanno vita breve: Andresen va a caccia di sprint intermedi non solo per la maglia blu, ma anche per rosicchiare qualcosa alla maglia rossa McNulty a suon di mini-abbuoni. Ci riprova in solitaria Johannik, che viene riassorbito sul muro di Carevo Selo ai -23km. Spazio dunque ai treni dei velocisti, che saranno protagonisti pure domani nel gran finale nella capitale.
