Mikel Landa's collarbone was confirmed to be broken in the crash, and the race leader, Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek), is in the front group. The race is marked by multiple attacks and breakaway attempts, with the peloton splitting at various points, and the riders are approaching the Muniketagaina climb.
