Despite having won the intermediate sprint behind the four-man breakaway, Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) was pissed off at Biniam Girmay (Intermarche-Wanty) over some perceived infraction. For the life of me I couldn't see what made him go full Italian waving his hands all over the place. If anything, Grimay should have been the one with the complaint as the Italian had tried to push the Eritrean off of his lead-out man's wheel. While they were arguing, Tim Merlier (Soudal-Quick Step) - the European Champion - had taken the spot in-between the two. And the Maillot Jaune on the shoulders of Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) was the fourth across the intermediate sprint line of the peloton in Enocq.
