Pogacar retains the Red Jersey and 43 second lead over Adam Yates. The UAE Team Emirates man said: “I was more focusing on the GC guys than on the stage win today. There was a lot of riding into a headwind uphill today so it was hard to follow all the attacks."

The Slovenian added: "It was a great ride by Jonas Vingegaard. I’m glad I’ve retained the lead but I’ll stay focused in the next two days. There are no more mountains, but I haven’t won the UAE Tour yet.”
