A week after crushing the Zurich World Championships, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) took care to show off its new rainbow jersey on the Tower of Emilie . In an attack more than 37 kilometers from the finish, the Slovenian defeated an event that he had difficulty winning (2nd in 2022 and 2023). Pogacar finally won with more than a minute and 50 seconds on Tom Pidcock (INEOS Grenadiers).
