A real fight to got the break established but it did form with ten riders. Mountain's leader Mathieu Burgaudeau of Total-Energies was in the move as well as points leader Mads Pedersen of Lidl-Trek. Ineos set a pace for the peloton that kept the break relatively close, no more than two and minutes at any one moment. 2KM from the top of the penultimate climb, 59KM to go, Ineos made a team acceleration, catching the break and creating gaps in the peloton. The big names in GC made it back on but it put the peloton on watch. Burgaudeau managed to hang near the front of the peloton and snatched the points before being reintegrated on the decent. When the bunch crossed the finish line to start the final local lap, Bora-Hansgrohe lifted the pace and brought Primož Roglič to front on a short but steep climb. He made a small gap but the main favorites were still together, although few had any teammates left. Matteo Jorgenson of Visma-Lease a Bike took advantage and sprung away from the group, leading with twelve seconds as he crested the climb. A light rain had started to set in, making the decent damp in spot. Santiago Buitrago of Bahrain-Victorious came off on a right hand turn. He didn't seem too hurt but lost thirty seconds pretty quickly and never regained contact with the main group. At the front, Brandon McNulty of UAE and Mattias Skjelmose of Lidl-Trek attacked and bridged to Jorgenson. The trio were able to expand their gap to a minute and would fight for the stage win. Skjelmose got the jump and held his gap to take the stage win. McNulty came around Jorgenson to take second place and a six second time bonus. Remco Evenepoel of Soudal Quickstep led the chasing group home at fifty one seconds behind. McNulty reclaimed the GC lead, Jorgenson moved into second place overall.
