Simmons, who was in the form, tried to move forward for a while, but after the brake, they lagged behind as the lead increased by six minutes. As if in response to the acceleration behind in the GC group, Heli kept the pressure on Cole de la Croix St.-Robert. The Simmons was left behind with 15 km left, after which Heli scored points, which made him second place after Martinez in Polka Dot Jersey Standing.

On the final climb, on the short but challenging Pue de Sansy, Yets, who had maintained a low profile till now, went ahead, enjoying the support of his Belgian team partner Victor Campnerts. O’Coner stayed ahead for some time, but soon left behind, and the Erearsman was the only rider who was close to him.
