The loss of Slovenian Primoz Roglic is a loss for Jumbo-Visma. The leader of the Dutch cycling team was keen to win the Tour of Spain for the fourth time in a row. A serious crash on Tuesday killed Roglic.

As a result, Evenepoel got a little more air in the general classification. His first pursuer is now Enric Mas at two minutes. Mas also attacked, but of all the riders in the top ten only Thymen Arensman lost some time. João Almeida won a few seconds.
