Starting the day in the leader’s jersey with a 34-second lead after winning stage 4, Yates missed out on a second stage win but did enough to win the general classification.
Second on the stage, Jørgen Nordhagen (Visma-Lease a Bike) also finishes second overall, whilst Pinarello, who led the race earlier in the week, rounds out the final podium in third.
