At the intermediate sprint, located 34 kilometers from the finish, Jonas Vingegaard successfully entered the battle for bonus seconds. He sprinted to third place and took two seconds for the general classification. In which he moved up to tenth place.
According to sports director Marc Reef, Team Jumbo-Visma got through the day well. "It was a very quiet stage, but it is precisely in those stages that crashes often occur in the final. Sepp was there eight kilometers from the finish, but fortunately he was able to continue quickly. Our leaders Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic arrived safely and that's the most important thing. Mission accomplished and on to tomorrow. Then we're in for a tough day."
