Ben O'Connor was hoping to finish on the final
Tirreno-Adriatico podium besides
Jonas Vingegaard. But it wasn't to be for the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale rider as not only Vingegaard, but also Juan Ayuso, Jai Hindley and even the young Isaac Del Toro were outside O'Connor's reach this week. The Australian is not really bothered by the 5th place here tho, as his main goal remains the
Giro d'Italia.
"It was incredible what Jonas did yesterday. I did the best I could, I tried to follow for a while but it was a useless attempt," O'Connor told Cyclingnews. "Today I rode thinking about the podium but it didn't work out."
