Many had tried to challenge the dominance of Jumbo-Visma on the final categorized climb but as long as Rohan Dennis was on the front setting the pace for his team leader, Primoz Roglic, no one had the legs to get away. Or to even try to get away for that matter. But once Dennis popped, and the rest of Roglic's teammates were already gone, it was time to try to take back time. Others had already gotten away, but they were minutes behind the virtual yellow jersey of Roglic. This is Daniel Martinez (Ineos-Grenadiers) going up the road on the final climb that didn't rate a categorization. That didn't mean it wasn't a hard climb though. Martinez was close enough that he was chased down, eventually. But inroads were made on the Jumbo-Visma leader. Yet all those that were less than a minute away didn't gain any time on the new Maillot Jaune.
