Il Giro di Slovacchia si consegna nelle mani di Mauro Schmid. L'elvetico del Team Jayco AlUla respinge gli attacchi di Alaphilippe e dopo il successo nel campionato svizzero su strada (23 giugno) trionfa nella 68sima edizione della Okolo Slovenka che oggi si è conclusa a Strbské Pleso con la vittoria del tedesco Felix Engelhardt davanti allo stesso Schmid e al francese Alaphilippe. Decimo Stefano Oldani (Cofidis) mentre in classifica i colori italiani svettano al nono posto (Alessandro Fancellu, Q36.5) e al decimo (Andrea Garosio, Polti Kometa).

La maglia gialla Schmid, col supporto del compagno e "predecessore" Anders Foldager, va subito a prendersi 3 secondi di bonus su Alaphilippe al traguardo volante e porta a 5 il suo vantaggio. A quel punto via libera a una fuga di coppia, con Xabier Azparren (Q36.5) ed Erik Fetter (Polti Kometa) che si fanno una sessantina di chilometri al vento sui primi saliscendi, dopodiché è il gruppo dei big a giocarsi tutto sulla tripla ascesa conclusiva. Tra sporadici tentativi (Scotson, Champion, Turek, Rosskopf, Tsarenko per provare a mettere il punto esclamativo sulla maglia a pois già acquisita) e dura selezione, sono meno di trenta i corridori che affrontano la scalata conclusiva da 8 km al 5%. Lì la maglia verde Alaphilippe dà come prevedibile il tutto per tutto, ma Schmid risponde presente e il compagno di quest'ultimo Engelhardt prende tutti in contropiede nell'ultimo chilometro, a completare un dominio Jayco AlUla con 3 vittorie di tappa su 5 più quella nella generale.
