Bernal: Colombia Oro y Paz will be decided by a few seconds

After three successive sprint stages, the complexion of the Colombia Oro y Paz changed on Friday with the summit finish at El Tambo. Julian Alaphilippe (Quic-Step Floors) surged clear in the final 100 metres to take stage honours but behind him Sergio Henao finished second and Egan Bernal sixth to give Team Sky perhaps the strongest hand in what's left of the race.
