Bora and early gradients brought about points classification change, then Ineos and late winds laid into the GC.

Standings

After Alaphilippe's bottle, Pogacar's puncture becomes the second cause of a dramatic fall from top spot.  It is, we discover today, possible for the same team to make a huge jump to 3rd place in the green competition and drop several places to last on the same day.

Comodoro moves into pole from second, and Del rises from 5th to 2nd.  Northerner completes the podium with a 5 place rise, matched by one entry to the top ten, Leadbelly, and beaten by the other one, Rote Laterne.
