Bouwman was given a great leadout by Team Jumbo–Visma teammate Tom Dumoulin and sprinted to the line to edge out Bauke Mollema and Davide Formolo by two seconds. The 196-kilometer route from Diamante to Potenza included four categorised climbs and almost zero flat sections. López stayed 38 seconds ahead of Lennard Kämna and 58 seconds ahead of Rein Taaramäe.
