The Bahrain Victorious team again took the racing to Ineos Grenadiers at the Tour of the Alps, but the British team responded with another show of force, and Tao Geoghegan Hart again won the stage.

Jack Haig went on the attack on stage 1 and was only caught 800 metres from the finish. On another tough climb up to the stage 2 finish in Ritten, overlooking Bolzano, Santiago Buitrago made an attack 500 metres from the top of the Mittelberg climb, forcing Pavel Sivakov to go deep to protect Geoghegan Hart's leadership and his chances in the sprint.
