- Pogacar outsprints Jonas Vingegaard on summit finish
- Reigning champion stretches advantage over Evenepoel

Once again, the 25-year-old leader of UAE Emirates found himself riding to the finish line with the defending champion, Jonas Vingegaard, and once again he proved the strongest, the Dane simply unable to respond to Pogacar’s attack.
