Dario Cataldo (Astana) claimed victory on stage 15 after spending more than 200km out front in the day's break, winning a sprint finish against Mattia Cattaneo (Androni Giocattoli-Sidermic).

It was a torrid day for Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) who first ended up on a team-mate's bike, after a mechanical, before he crashed into a guard rail on a descent close to the finish line and lost 40 seconds to his GC rivals.
