      (I couldn’t follow this stage very accurately.)

      Frigo (🇮🇹 Israël) won after a long breakaway, as a group then solo. Nobody in the peloton wanted to pull; the leader’s team (Tudor) wouldn’t either, as they had placed Stork🇩🇪 in it, who ranked well in GC. When someone started to pull it was too late.

      There was an attack from the peloton that could have mattered in the last climb, performed by Frigo’s teammate Riccitello🇺🇸. However the ‘hilly’ section on top of the climb killed his legs and he was caught up there.

      In GC, no real change, but a little game of musical chairs among the 5 riders which follow Storer (🇦🇺 Tudor), according to time bonuses and even placings. A dozen of riders, more or less, were present on all 3 stages finishes.
