Behind, a group of five runners with the archifavors Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert tried to reduce the advantage in a final circuit around Toulouse characterized by huge and explosives.
The two best classications in the world were unable to reduce the disadvantage of 30 seconds due to lack of collaboration of their travel companions, aware that they would put them in La Victoria tray.
