There have been no significant changes in the general classification and therefore Adam Yates, the 30-year-old British UAE-Emirates rider who won the first stage in Bilbao on Saturday, is still in the yellow jersey. In order to avoid dangers, the reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard practically always stayed in the top positions, while a fall already inside the circuit caused Jacopo Guarnieri to fall (collarbone fracture) and Fabio Jakobsen. There were several falls within the final motor circuit.
