Race report
The breakaway forms after 17 kilometres of action. Xandro Meurisse, Thibau Nys, Roger Adrià, Andrea Vendrame and Sean Flynn jump clear, while Nikias Arndt and Xabier Mikel Azparren track them down. The seven carve out a maximum lead of over 5 minutes.
While Arndt and Flynn lose contact on Les Mosses, the lead of the others drops below 3 minutes. However, it rebounds back to over 3 minutes on the flat run-up to the final climb.
Vendrame, Nys and Meurisse are the only remaining attackers in the final 2.5 kilometres of the finishing climb. Meanwhile, Luke Plapp and Florian Lipowitz launch an attack from the GC group on the lower slopes. Plapp jumps across to the leaders and takes over from Meurisse at the front.
Plapp tries to shake off the early attackers but finds himself outfoxed. In the final sprint, Vendrame and Nys take charge, with the 21-year-old Belgian emerging victorious. He not only claims the stage win but also secures the top spot in the overall standings.
