It's the first (and often best) GT of the season!

Breakaway composed of a single rider, a Spanish Polti. Even the Italians refused to join him, even when Fortunato tried to ask someone to go with him.

Moniquet (🇧🇪 Cofidis) and Fortunato (🇮🇹 Astana) fought for the 2 and 1 points of the 4^th^ category climb . Moniquet started from the bottom of the small climb, which Fortunato hadn't planned; the Italian couldn't close the gap.

For the first intermediate sprint in the bunch after the solo breakaway, there were 4 contenders: Pedersen, Kooij, Groves and Strong. Tonelli didn't take part; neither did Aular or Van Aert.
