Race report
KOM leader Danny van der Tuuk attacks from the start alongside Diego Uriarte and Calum Johnston. The trio opens up a 4-minute lead.

​On the Coll Puig del Pení, the gap drops below 1 minute, but Van der Tuuk does not hae to worry and he wins the KOM sprint at the summit. By that time, the gap has widened back to 2 minutes.​

On the Coll de Sant Pere de Rodes, the peloton, led by Visma | Lease a Bike and Alpecin-Deceuninck, increases the pace again. Johnston drops from the breakaway, while Mario Aparicio jumps across to the leaders. He leaves them behind to take most KOM points at the top.
