Tejay Van Garderen retained his lead following a crash, and a string of other incidents. The American still has a buffer of six seconds over Gianni Moscon, with Kasper Asgreen a further second back in third. Asgreen was initially given the overall lead, but race judges deliberated for over an hour before deciding that Van Garderen had been held up by a crash just outside the final 3kilometer of the Stage – which Moscon was also involved in. Under UCI rules, riders caught up in crashes (inside the final 3 kilometers) are given the same time as the group that they were part of at that time, and both Van Garderen and Moscon were given the same finishing time as Asgreen.
