Winterberg, Friday, August 25th 2023
The Movistar rider won as a soloist ten seconds ahead of the approaching peloton, in which his teammate Alex Aranburu won the sprint ahead of Kevin Vermaerke (dsm-firmenich). Ilan Van Wilder (Soudal Quick-Step) finished fifth, defending the red jersey of the overall leader as well as the white jersey of the best young professional, but Vermaerke will continue to wear it as his deputy. Nothing changed in the other jerseys either. Ethan Vernon (Soudal Quick-Step) defended the green jersey, Harm Vanhoucke (Lotto Dstny) the blue one for the best climber. Nils Politt (Bora – hansgrohe) was the best German one place ahead of Georg Zimmermann (Intermarché – Circus – Wanty) in seventh place and thus also occupies this position in the overall classification.
