Mads Pedersen and Lidl-Trek completed a perfect tactic plan on the road to Valona, with the Dane winning the sprint and retaking the maglia rosa after his teammates controlled the attacks and led the chase all day on the final stage in Albania.
Pedersen started his sprint early, Corbin Strong (Israel-Premier Tech) was on his wheel and came up alongside him but could not match the Dane's finishing speed. Orluis Aular (Movistar) was again in the thick of the sprint, taking third.
