Arnaud Démare has won the bunch sprint in Messina, ahead of Fernando Gaviria and Giacomo Nizzolo. Mathieu van der Poel also wanted to throw himself, but gave up in the chaos of the final kilometer. Mark Cavendish and Caleb Ewan didn’t even get a chance to join the sprint, they lost on a climb halfway through the stage.

  1. 15 hours 51. Bear work by Ramon Sinkeldam who puts Démare in a perfect position. The Frenchman thanks and keeps the rising Gaviria behind him. †
  2. 15h51. Démare wins! It is Arnaud Démare who perfectly completes the work of his team. Gaviria comes in second. †
  3. 15h50. Démare turns on with Girmay. Van der Poel is too far. †
  4. 15h50. Girmay gets little support from his squad. He tries to slip into Van der Poel’s wheel. It is also still far. †

    Van der Poel: “The points classification was not a goal for me in advance.”

  16. 15h08. Ben Swift, Diego Ulissi and Joao Almeida are the first three in the intermediate sprint. Pink jersey Lopez has not interfered in the debate. †
  17. 15 hours 02. An intermediate sprint with precious bonus seconds is waiting for the peloton. Do the GC riders mix up or do they look out of the woods? †

  19. 2 p.m. 51. Cavendish throws in the towel. It will be a sprint without Cavendish. The Briton has straightened himself and thanks his teammates for the effort. They give up for today and start tomorrow with new courage. For Caleb Ewan, it’s been a no-go for a while. †
