- Florian Lipowitz kept second place on general classification by a three-second margin over Norway’s Tobias Halland Johannessen.
- American Andrew August of Ineos Grenadiers won the final stage, which featured about 3,000 meters of climbing in cold, heavy rain.
- Primoz Roglic slipped out of third overall late in the race after Seixas matched key attacks, including Lipowitz’s move on the queen stage.
