It was another American on the front of the peloton, Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates) cueing up the run to the line for his teammate Tadej Pogacar. Several on the wheel of the wearer of the Maillot Blanc were hoping they would have the legs to take over the Maillot Jaune today. Yet it was Pogacar who was best placed of those behind him including Tom Pidcock (Ineos-Grenadiers), Michael Matthews (BikeExchange-Jayco), Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic). Given how well Pogacar is climbing, it is unlikely anyone will get the better of him in the final kilometer of the day.
