But his lead is less than a minute. Why is Pogacar staying with Del Toro, when he could be going after the stage, when Seixas has long been put to the sword?

Evenepoel looks to finish strongly, as Del Toro seems to be suffering. How does Pogacar respond? He looks around for his mate, and lets Remco go.

To Carapaz now, who is back on the famous road to the Alpe. A battered Kuss plugs on.

He's back up quickly, so it must have been as light as you like, but that's the last thing he'd have wanted at this point. Carapaz can see him as they descend, and Kuss is on the ground again! Oh no. This time Carapaz sweeps past.

And it's down to 1'30 with Pogacar riding himself. Remco now has Hindley for company, who could yet lead him out to another stage win.
