Ineos Grenadiers' Italian rider Ganna had set a time of 52:01 and looked set to win the stage when Pogacar found himself behind after the second intermediate checkpoint, but the Slovenian made up time on the brutal climb to the finish line. Ultimately, Pogacar crossed the line at 51:44, punching the air as he went 17 seconds faster than Ganna to extend his overall lead and retain the Maglia Rosa.

American Magnus Sheffield was third-fastest, 49 seconds behind, while Geraint Thomas – who was second in the general classification at the start of the stage – struggled to make his mark and finished two minutes slower than Pogacar.Caitlin Clark could have Tiger Woods-like effect on women’s basketballAs a result, Daniel Felipe Martinez moved up to second in the overall leaderboard – two minutes and 36 seconds behind Pogacar – while Thomas dropped to third, a further 10 seconds back.
