A very messy finish. Here's the photo finish...

Here's what Bauhaus had to say after the stage...

"I feel amazing. We always believed I can win. I had a difficult winter buওt I knew I'm in goo✤d shape and the team did really good today.

"We knew it's a headwind so the plan was to come late. Jan, Jasha, Heino did amazing to bring me in a good position for the last narro�𝔉�wing before the left-right corner. Then I followed Demare, and I saw a gap on the right side and just went for it.

"Our climbers did fantastic yesterday, they showed they are on a super high level with three guys in the top 10 also now for the GC is amazing for our team. Today was a great win for us. It's a super b✅ig race.

"I said this morning to the guys it would be really nice to🧸 have a win like this on my palmares after the Dauphin🌃e and Tour of Poland."

Tadej Pogačar is the overall winner, of course. Here's what he had to say...

"Today was quite good – more relaxed than days before. Not so cold as before. In tꦑhe end it was a little bit nervous for the sprint but I'm happy for us it was quite good.

"I enjoyed this stage but I was focussed until the end because you never know what happens. It was like any other day, you need to bᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe focussed because it's not finished until you cross the line.

"Yesterday's stage was one of a kind. Also the first stage I won was really beautiful.
I'm sup﷽er happy. Any race that we can win we're happy. Tirreno, now the second time, I'm super happy."
