Race report
Silvan Dillier initiates the breakaway and Jardi Christiaan van der Lee sets off in pursuit with Jonas Rickaert. While the first waits for the peloton, the second links up with Dillier to open up a lead of over 8 minutes.
As soon as the road rises on Jebel Mobrah, the breakaway is swiftly brought to heel.
In the second part of the climb, when the road really kicks up, Junior Lecerf launches an attack. Felix Gall, Antonio Tiberi and Remco Evenepoel join him.
With 5.2 kilometres to go, Gall pulls clear of the group. He opens a small gap, but Tiberi soon rejoins him, joined by Harold Tejada. In the chasing pack, GC leader Evenepoel begins to lose contact, with just under 4 kilometres remaining. Meanwhile, Tiberi jumps off the front.
Isaac del Toro charges forward from the background, crossing the flamme rouge 15 seconds adrift.
The Mexican champion’s pursuit runs out of steam in the finale kilometre, allowing Tiber to secure a double blow: stage victory and leader’s jersey.
