The best German on the stage with numerous falls was Jonas Rutsch (Erbach/Intermarché-Wanty) on the 52nd place. Pascal Ackermann (Kandel/Israel Prime Minister Tech) gave up after almost two hours of race.
Milan falls and falls back
Jonathan Milan, who won the day before and was in second place in the overall ranking, experienced a bitter race: the Italian from the Lidl-Trek team fell 23 kilometers before the end, but dragged himself to the finish. He fell far back in the classification.
