The rest of the race hopefuls clustered around the 9:20 to 9:30 mark, with Pavel Sivakov (Ineos Grenadiers), Simon Yates (Team BikeExchange), Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers), Vincenzo Nibali (Trek-Segafredo) and last year’s runner-up Jai Hindley (Team DSM) finishing well outside of leaders.
A little further back, Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) finished with a time of 9:36, while Romain Bardet (Team DSM) and Dan Martin (Israel Start-Up Nation) crossed the finish with times of 9:39 and 9:44.
