Stage 5 - Juan Pedro Lopez seals Tour of the Alps as Aurelien Paret-Peintre wins final stage
An emotional Juan Pedro López (Lidl-Trek) secured overall victory in Levico Terme, taking his first stage race success after five days of intense racing in Italy and Austria.
The Spaniard won the green race winner's jersey by 38 seconds from Decathlon AG2R's Ben O’Connor, while Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) rounded out the podium in third at 42 seconds.
Aurélien Paret-Peintre scored Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale’s 10th victory of 2024, winning the final stage of the Tour of the Alps with a superb sprint into Levico Terme.
Stage 4 - Simon Carr wins the stage as Juan Pedro López responds to GC attacks
Simon Carr had spent time at altitude hoping to fight for overall victory at the Tour of the Alps but when allergies wrecked his hopes, he turned his focus to winning a stage.
A day of rain eased his allergies and so he went on the attack early on stage 4 and managed to drop his companions and win alone. Behind him the GC race played out, with Juan Pedro López (Lidl-Trek) able to respond to multiple attacks and so retain the race lead. Chris Harper (Jayco-AlUla) crashed out while Ben O'Connor (Decathlon-AG2R) as more fortunate and remains in the battle for overall victory.
Stage 3 - Juan Pedro López takes solo victory, race lead
With a solo win in Schwaz, Austria on stage 3 at Tour of the Alps, Juan Pedro López (Lidl-Trek) moved into the overall lead. It was also the first professional win of his career. Giulio Pellizzari (VF-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè) finished second as the two riders had gone clear of the peloton. From the chase behind, Tobias Foss (Ineos Grenadiers) secured third place, but surrendered his green jersey.
Stage 2 - Alessandro De Marchi blows up the early break to win stage 2 Alessandro De Marchi (Jayco-AlUla) took a win for the veterans in the peloton by dropping Simon Pellaud (Tudor ProCycling) and Patrick Gamper (Bora-Hansgrohe) on the final climb after they formed the attack of the day and broke the resolve of the peloton and especially Ineos Grenadiers, who did most of the chasing for 150km of the long stage into Austria.
Stage 1 - Tobias Foss wins stage 1 as GC contenders emerge
Tobias Foss (Ineos Grenadiers) won stage 1 after a select group went clear over the final climb. The former time trial champion then got away with three riders and won the sprint to the line ahead of Chris Harper and Esteban Chaves to become the first race leader.
