The favored Pogačar climbed Monte Carpegna in the second climb and kept the lead to the finish line. His closest pursuers Vingegaard and Landa lost more than a minute to him after 215 kilometers. The second Belgian Remco Evenepoel, who was not good enough for the best and dropped out of the elite ten, fared even worse.
