Dopo il giorno di riposo, il Qinghai Lake Tour ha ripreso la sua corsa. Ad imporsi nella tappa odierna è stato Dusan Rajovic della Adria Mobil che ha preceduto il bielorusso Papok e l'olandese Looji. In classifica generale resta al comando il colombiano Aguirre.

Era la decima tappa del Tour of Qinghai Lake 2018, quella che collegava Minquin a Tengger Desert dopo 124 km. Dopo il giorno di riposo, la corsa a tappe cinese riprendeva con un percorso senza troppe difficoltà con sul piatto un solo gpm, quello di quarta categoria al km 34.7.

Il primo tentativo di fuga ha visto il tentativo di Branislau Samoilau (Minsk Cycling Club), Gregor Gazvoda (Adria Mobile) e Gaas Smukulis (Delko Marseille) proprio al gpm ma sono stati ripresi subito.

Zhinshan Zhang (Qinghai) è caduto al km 35 ed è stato costretto al ritiro.

La fuga buona è scattata al km 52 con Bohdan Musiienko (Lviv Cycling Team) e Conn McDunphy (Holdsworth).

I due si sono separati equamente i due sprint intermedi posti ai km 62.8 e al km 95.9 ma sono stati tenuti a distanza di sicurezza dal gruppo, che poi li ha ripresi a 7 km dal traguardo.

Il traguardo era piazzato nel mezzo fel cosiddetto Tenggert Desert, un deserto non propriamente arido, con numerosi arbusti tra le dune e qualche campo coltivato a mais.

La linea di arrivo arrivava quasi all'improvviso, in mezzo al nulla. E il gruppo compatto si è presentato occupando tutta la sede stradale. Per primo è transitato lo sloveno Dusan Rajovic (Adria Mobile) davanti a Siarhei Papok (Minsk) e André Looij (Monkeytown).
