Unlike Fulgsang, who had a flat tire with 40 kilometers to go, Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) had his mishap within the final five kilometers. He was outside of the magical three k mark, so any time lost would count against him. He started his desperate chase back through the caravan of team cars shepherded by the American Chad Haga. He soon dropped Haga and was picked up by other teammates in turn. He ended the day losing over a minute and a half to the stage winner, but more importantly is now 30 seconds behind most of his GC rivals (he had started the day about 30 seconds ahead of them). Daniel Martinez (EF Education First) was thankful for some truly fast wheels to jump on to at the end of a very long stage.
