Edoardo Affini (Jumbo–Visma) said it was a messy finish to Stage 13 after European and Italian champion Giacomo Nizzolo (Team Qhubeka Assos) picked up the win. As expected, the GC contenders emerged from the sprinter slugfest unscathed, meaning Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) retains his 45-second advantage over Aleksandr Vlasov (Astana - Premier Tech) in second.
