As he won his second phase of the race dutchman Mathieu van der Poel expanded his lead.
24, van der Poel, driven clear of primary rival Matteo Trentin at the final phases of this stiff uphill finish to acquire stage seven in Warwickshire.
He leads Trentin by 12 seconds from the general classification going into the last stage of Saturday.
“Everybody hurt their legs today,” he told ITV Sport,”and tomorrow will be no different.”
As Van der Poel jumped clear, britain’s Ben Swift attempted to establish a assault but had been overhauled.
It seemed as though the Italian, sitting on Van der Poel’s wheel as they approached the last 100m, when the hill levelled off, was in place to jump the world cyclocross champion.
But if Van der Poel kicked for the third time Trentin was not able to react, quickly shaking his mind as the Dutchman sprung clear, subsequently giving his nemesis the thumbs up in admiration of his ability, before spreading his arms wide in a’what could I do?’ Gesture’ as he crossed the line bike lengths behind.
The reduced peloton was directed by australian Simon Clarke throughout the line three minutes behind Van der Poel.
The phase finishes in central Manchester and begins in Altrincham.
