The day’s breakaway (above) contained Canada’s Félix Bouchard, Alpecin-Deceuninck’s Luca Vergallito and Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe’s Filip Maciejuk. Canuck Philippe Jabcob was also in the early move, but fell out of the group with around 80 km to go.

A late move with Tadej Pogačar, Biniam Girmay, Paul Lapeira and Jonas Abrahamsen looked promising, all finished out of the top 10. Lapeira was the best placed in the end in 12th. Image: Grégoire Crevier
