With a solo win in Schwaz, Austria on stage 3 at Tour of the Alps, Juan Pedro López (Lidl-Trek) moved into the overall lead. It was also the first professional win of his career.

From the chase behind, Tobias Foss (Ineos Grenadiers) secured third place, but surrendered his green jersey.

Tobias Foss (Ineos Grenadiers) won stage 1 after a select group went clear over the final climb. The former time trial champion then got away with three riders and won the sprint to the line ahead of Chris Harper and Esteban Chaves to become the first race leader.
