Unlike his move in Strade Bianche earlier this year, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) was caught first by Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) and then Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike). It was Pogacar that first signaled that they should work together to put time into the rest of the peloton. Soon thereafter, Evenepoel was getting a bit frustrated that Vingegaard was just sitting on the wheels of the two guys ahead of him in the general classification. The three did catch up to the original breakaway, much to the escapees dismay. At least at this point the three had fought to a draw. Well, actually they have put time into Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe).
