The late break of the day was a dream come true for Visma-Lease a Bike. They had managed to get three of there guys into the break. While Christophe Laporte was one the front driving the pace of the group of escapees, Matteo Jorgenson and Wout Van Aert were able to conserve their energy at the back. It was a nightmare for the other three in the group. Tom Pidcock (Ineos-Grenadiers), Toms Skujins (Lidl-Trek) and Arnuad De Lie (Lotto-Dstny) were going to be forced to chase each of the moves one of the Visma guys made or conversely, should any one of them try an attack one of the Visma guys can chase while the others continue to save themselves for the finale. All the while, these six were continuing to build a gap on the peloton that was now over a minute behind.
