So often in these situations we see a small lead group work well together all the way to the line while the much larger chase group can't get it together.
There's not much indication that the chase group will work together on this run-in so far.
23 seconds to the leaders.
Philipsen and Pedersen now chasing across to Laporte. Van der Poel had already dropped back.
Van der Poel stuck on the wheel and seemingly unwilling to do any work, though.

22km to go
24 seconds for the lead trio now.
Corbin Strong crashes on the descent. He's up and walking to get his bike.

The best sprinters in the chase group – Philipsen and Groenewegen – only have one teammate each – Van der Poel and Mezgec – to chase for them.

26km to go
19 seconds from them to the chase, then another 5 or 6 to Philipsen's group.
The peloton now at 7:10 down.
It looks like the chase groups will come together fairly quickly. Three men still out front, however.
27km to go
Around 10 men in the chase behind the chase.
Philipsen off the rear now, around 8-9 seconds down on the chase.
O'Connor leads the attacking trio over the top, 15 seconds up on the chase.
Now Pedersen leads the group up to Zimmermann and Izagirre.
And more riders try moves. Pedersen again.
Zimmermann and Ion Izagirre off the front of the chase.
There's still some 28km left to run once the riders hit the top so a chance for sprinteres to get back in if they don't lose too much ground on the way up.
Groenewegen near the rear of the group. Philipsen looking relatively comfortable. Meanwhile, Pedersen gives it a push at the front.
Meeus losing touch in the chase group.
Campenaerts is done. He almost comes to a halt after briefly hanging on to the trio on the way up.
20 seconds back to the chase.
30km to go
Campenaerts caught with some way to go on the climb. Asgreen, O'Connor and Mohoric join him.
Stage 18 winner Asgreen makes a move off the front. O'Connor and Mohoric go with him.
A couple of Uno-X riders drop off the rear after their hard work. Still Charmig and Tiller left in the chase.

The big question behind is how the fastest finishers such as Philipsen, Van der Poel, Groenewegen, Laporte, Pedersen, Wright will do on this climb.
32km to go
Cramp for Simon Clarke! His time out front is over.
The peloton now at 5:55 down.

EF: Bettiol, Powless
QuickStep: Alaphilippe, Asgreen

Alpecin: Van der Poel, Philipsen
TotalEnergies: Oss, Turgis
Campenaerts doesn't have any teammates in the chase group. Clarke has three teammates there in Corbin Strong, Krists Neilands, and Hugo Houle. They can all sit in and save some energy should the chase make the catch.
35km to go
40 seconds for the two leaders now.
The third-category Côte d'Ivory (2.3km at 5.9%) coming up shortly. Uno-X working to close the gap and they're shaving some time off.
Both men out front have Grand Tour stage winning pedigree, of course. Clarke has two Vuelta stage wins plus the famous Arenberg stage a year ago on his palmarès, while Campenaerts won stage 15 of the 2021 Giro from the break.
There's still some way to go and 34 men in the chase but things looking good so far for Clarke and Campenaerts.
