Behind the leaders, a kilometer before the finish, there was a mass crash in which some riders fell to the ground. Among them were world champion Alejandro Valverde, who is still in second place 2:25 minutes behind overall leader Primoz Roglic, and third overall Tadej Pogacar. Both drivers suffered only minor injuries.
