Bruno Armirail (Groupama-FDJ) will have deserved his rest day on Monday. The Frenchman wore the pink jersey on Sunday to stay at a reasonable distance from the peloton of favorites.

Despite losing 33 seconds in the final of the 15th stage between Seregno and Bergamo, he maintained more than a minute ahead of his runner-up in general Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers). Present in the breakaway of the day, Brandon McNulty has unlocked his victory counter on the Grand Tours.
