With tomorrow's final stage ahead, De Tier is eleventh overall at 54 seconds from leader Warren Barguil. Jansen is twelfth at 56 seconds.

After a fast start to the stage, a leading group with Danny van Poppel for Team Jumbo-Visma got established. The five got a maximum of four minutes, but were reeled in in the last five kilometers.

"It was a tough climb," De Tier said. “The stage could have been a bit more difficult for me in the run-up to that climb. I prefer a tougher race with such a finish. We rode an offensive stage as a team and with Danny in the leading group everything went according to plan. All in all, it was quite a good day. "

Jansen concurred De Tier about the climb. “It was really tough with averages above ten percent. Such percentages are a little too steep for me regarding my physique. Although I did give it a shot. It was a nice attempt and the legs felt good. ”
