All of those off the front had been caught by the top of the Col du Madeleine with Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) just getting the maximum points ahead of Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates). I don't think either were trying to race for the King of the Mountain points, more likely, they were just wanting to be on the front for the descent off the mountain. With another fifty-two kilometers to race it was Matteo Jorgenson leading his teammate Vingegaard down. Naturally Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) was right on Vingegaard's wheel. The rest of this leading group included Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), Felix Gall (Decathlon-Ag2r-La Mondiale), Ben O'Connor (Jayco-Alula), and Einer Rubio (Movistar). They all had one more climb to the mountain top finish on the Col de la Loze.
