Alberto Contador commented on the fourth stage of the Giro d'Italia for Eurosport and was surprised that Remco Evenepoel had not tried to attack on the final climb. The Madrid-born cyclist thinks his team may not have been up to the task.

"I think Remco had this stage marked to try to make a difference, it's something that we'll never know or that he's never going to comment on. I have been left with the fly behind my ear, we have seen van Wilder suffer, Remco has been left alone, I think Soudal Quick-Step is going to have a hard time controlling the race," he said.

Regarding today's stage, the fifth, with a hilly start and a flat finish, Contador thinks that despite the fact that there will be attempts at breakaways like yesterday, it will end up in a sprint:

"In the first part there will be an important fight to get into the breakaway, although I think it will be possible to finish the sprint, we will see riders who will suffer a lot more after what happened in stage four, I think the breakaway will not have so many options to get there.
