\nGeneral Classification Standings after Stage 9This has been a very interesting day in the fight for the overall classification. Jonas Vingegaard was the strongest on the summit finish to Corno alle Scale and has extended his lead to Felix Gall which is now of 35 seconds. He remains 2:24 minutes behind Afonso Eul\u00e1lio<\/a> into the race’s time trial, which does not assure he will move into the race lead.<\/p>\n

Gall is third and Jai Hindley moved up to fourth; whilst Astana’s Christian Scaroni ends the first week of the race in fifth overall after a strong climb this Sunday. Thymen Arensman has had a strong ascent and brought the benefits by now linking up to sixth on GC, followed very closely by Mathys Rondel and a Ben O’Connor who shed some important seconds today.<\/p>\n

Giulio Pellizzari has descended from sixth to ninth on GC, the main loser of the day. Luck would have it that the Italian would experience a bad day on a stage where the gaps wouldn’t be overly big; but he nevertheless lost meaningful time to his direct rivals. Michael Storer closes the Top10.<\/p>\n

Enric Mas and Jan Christen officially dropped out of GC contention whilst Igor Arrieta also lost quite a few positions. Davide Piganzoli climbed up to 13th with a stellar third place on the day and is now directly ahead of Derek Gee and Egan Bernal who will look to climb into the Top10 on the more climber-friendly second half of the race.<\/p>\n

King of the Mountains Standings after Stage 9<\/p>\n

For the triders hunting breakaways and the KOM jersey, there are only bad news. A second consecutive 1st category summit finish, with double the points, saw Jonas Vingegaard win once again. On two climbs, he has gathered 100 points. His lead has skyrocketed up and is now of 51 points over Diego Pablo Sevilla, whilst it is Felix Gall who sits third. Einer Rubio has moved up to fourth and is possibly signaling his intentions to target the jersey, but the almost 100-point gap back to Vingegaard will prove challenging to close down.<\/p>\n

This would come as a surprise to anyone before the stage, but the truth is Afonso Eul\u00e1lio has actually extended his gap over his rivals in the battle for the white jersey. He now has over 5 minutes over his closes rival Mathys Rondel; whilst Giulio Pellizzari’s bad day threw him down to third. The gaps remain very close as we are yet to reach a multi-mountain stage – which will only come on stage 4.<\/p>\n

Rondel, Pellizzari, Markel Beloki, Davide Piganozli, Lennert van Eetvelt, Igor Arrieta and Johannes Kulset are all within 4 minutes of each other, a gap that a single breakaway can close down.<\/p>\n

Team Visma | Lease a Bike on the other hand, with first and third in the stage, inevitably created some big differences.
