Richard Carapaz (Ineos-Grenadiers) had tried to escape from the small group that was the leaders on the road. He used a round-about to mask his attack, but Marc Hirschi (Sunweb) must have seen the attack out of the corner of his eye. Hirschi swung onto the Ecuadorian's wheel and nullified this escape. The pair were at different purposes, it seems that Carapaz had decided that he should fight to claim the Miallot a Pois, whereas Hirschi was solely after the stage victory (not to say that Carapaz wouldn't want the stage as well as the jersey).
