12.36 Josef Cerny (Soudal Quick-Step) and Dorian Godon (Decathlon AG2R La Difesa Team) regain the lead of the race, forming an interesting sextet, while Balmer has lost contact and could soon be sucked into the group.
12.34 Twenty-seven kilometers traveled at crazy pace, with repeated attacks. The climb to Ovronnaz will soon begin.
12.33 There are continuous sprints and sprints, a really fiery start to the stage. Josef Cerny (Soudal Quick-Step), Dorian Godon (Decathlon AG2R La Difesa Team) and Alexandre Balmer (Switzerland) form a trio in pursuit of the leading four, while the group is now 30″ behind the pacesetters.
12.30 Less than 130 km to the finish line!

12.21 Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) immediately puts one of his men to shoot, with the margin of the three leaders remaining around twenty seconds.
12.18 Three escape. The Spaniard Raul Garcia Pierna (Arkéa – B&B Hotels), the Portuguese Nelson Oliveira (Movistar Team) and the Dutch Bart Lemmen (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) have a 12″ lead on the group.
12.15 Less than ten kilometers to the intermediate sprint in Aproz, the group is still compact after a start at high speeds (36.1 km/h).
12.13 There is a lot of movement and nervousness in the race, with the peloton having broken into two sections on a downhill stretch but then reuniting immediately afterwards.
12.11 First a man from the Swiss national team tries, then a rider from Lotto Dstny, both attempts were immediately stopped by the group.
12.08 148 runners started this morning, Patrick Gamper and Sylvain Moniquet did not start.
12.06 Group crash, involving men from Codifis and Decathlon AG2R La Difesa Team. Nothing serious apparently, with the cyclists getting up immediately.
12.05 From the top there is a rather quiet stretch, before entering the triptych made up of the climbs of La Rasse (2.1 km at 8.5%), Les Rives (9.6 km at 5.4%) and Les Giettes (4.1 km at 8.3% ). Finally, the Leysin finish line will be placed at the top of the final climb (13.8 km at 6%).
12.02 Looking at the menu what it offers we can see that there will be five GPMs present along the 159.2 km that divide the towns of Saillon and Leysin. We start off very strong right from the start, given that after 40 km the cyclists will find themselves facing the climb that leads to Ovronnaz (9.1 km at 9.5%). Immediately therefore the most complicated ascent of the day, even if very far from the finish line and the big names are unlikely to move.
11.59 Immediately sprints and counter sprints at the head of the group, with the race passing through the first tooth of the day.

11.50 Yesterday’s time trial revolutionized the general classification. Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) took the lead in the ranking, gaining six positions and putting himself ahead of everyone, with a margin of 7″ over Ilan Van Wilder (Soudal Quick-Step) and 10″ over Aleksandr Vlasov (BORA-hansgrohe) .
