The bunch had been disrupted just outside the final kilometre by a crash that took down points classification leader Kaden Groves , with the Australian somehow managing to land on his feet as a number of his teammates and other riders came down. Nonetheless, it was another Grand Tour stage win for Dainese, his third of the season after two at the Giro d’Italia.
"I think was really unlucky to lose a couple of guys in the crash but to that point, I was in a perfect position where I wanted to be. And it was a bit headwind so Ganna and the other guys just went a bit early and then I was waiting for my moment to go in the wind. I am super happy to finish a hard Vuelta in this way."
