A minor crash at the start of the 18 kilometer bridge forced most of EF Education-EasyPost to drop back to help get Rigoberto Uran back into the peloton. Basically, Owain Doull and Alberto Bettiol chased the entire span of the bridge in hopes of getting their team leader back on. It wasn't until their time trial specialist, Stefan Bissenger, drop back that they were able to rejoin the peloton at the base of the bridge. Sadly, it was just in time to get caught up in another crash, but at least that was inside the final three kilometers so they all got the same time as the stage winner. Marijn Tusveld (DSM) was one of many that were able to take advantage of the pink chase to rejoin as well.
