Jonas Vingegaard and his Visma-Lease a Bike team imposed their authority on the Tirreno-Adriatico peloton for a second day, with the Dane surging away from his rivals with five kilometre to go on the Monte Petrano mountain finish high in the windswept Le Marche Apennines.

Earlier his teammates had kept the break of the day under control, ensuring even Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) was caught despite starting the 10km climb with a lead of a minute. There would be no gifts.
