Jura are the last team on the road. They were 9 seconds slower through the checkpoint and they go slower again through the 2nd half. It's + 15" for them which means 2nd on the stage.
It's an expected stage win for Glanbia given the strength of their squad. They live up to their favourites tag.
Marchewka is the new GC leader by 6 seconds to the Glanbia pair of Oram and Downey. Glanbia have 7 riders in the Top 10 but the strongest rider here appears to be Rekita, in 5th, who has a 14 second gap to Sterobo in 9th. It'll all come down to the final stage.
