Bad weather meant the first part of the special was cancelled, including a pass that would take them as high as 4,700m. After his strong showing yesterday, Antoine Meo rode his KTM to victory on stage six, winning a thrilling and close-fought battle with Kevin Benavides and his KTM team-mate Toby Price. In fact, Meo shares a motorhome with the 2016 champion, which might be awkward on rest day. But the faster sections should suit both KTM riders’s styles.
