The GC riders rested until the final climb where Jumbo-Visma put on an impressive amount of pace. Only 19 riders were in the peloton by the time they crossed the finish line. However, Miguel Ángel López tried to attack anyway. But he was promptly covered by Marc Soler (Movistar) and things calmed down before the summit.
