Race report
Jetse Bol, Vojtech Repa and Joan Bou attack from the gun to carve out a lead of more than 4 minutes. Then the peloton takes the reins.
The gap has fallen to 1 minute in the last kilometres, and Bol goes solo. He extends his lead to 2 minutes before it starts to go down again. The Dutchman is caught with 26 kilometres to go.
As expected, the race comes down to a sprint finish. Degenkolb opens early and he fades away when Molano comes storming past, but it’s Groves who takes the biggest win in his career.
Evenepoel stays in command of the GC, while Yates and Sivakov disappear from the top 10 after testing positive on corona.
