In the bunch, Red Bull\u2013BORA\u2013hansgrohe took control, driving towards the crucial climb of the Celjska Ko\u010da (7.9 kilometres at 6.2%) some thirty kilometres from the finish.<\/p>\n<p>Forty-three riders survived that climb, among them the strong-looking leader Pithie. The New Zealander also still had helpers around him in Jan Tratnik, Giulio Pellizzari and Florian Lipowitz. That let them play the game on their terms.<\/p>\n<p>Mattia Cattaneo went on the attack inside the final kilometre but was reeled in. No matter: Pithie picked up the gauntlet and, in his leader&#8217;s jersey, booked another victory. Oldani and Cobo were second and third, and Pithie naturally strengthened his lead too.
