The member of the UAE Emirates team edged Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel (Team Alpecin-Deceuninck) by 16 seconds at the finish line. Dane Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo team) came in last place on the podium.
French cycling fans will be disappointed to learn that no French rider has made it into the top 10 of the standings. Worse still, a collective crash caused by Polish rider Filip Maceliuk (Team Bahrain-Victorious), who performed an unauthorized maneuver in the peloton 141 kilometers from the finish, delayed the Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe (team (Soudal – Quick-Step). The double world champion indeed remained almost two minutes on the ground after his fall, the time to regain his senses, as reported The Parisian.
