Race report
Brian Bulgac, Kristof Vandewalle and Ji Cheng are the break away and it’s already with 18 km’s done they reach the maximum gain of 8 minutes. Then Orica GreenEdge takes control the gap starts to shrink gradually.
Climbing up Col des Rangers Vandewalle is the last to be caught and in closed formation the pack crests the last climb of the day. Despite several attempts to break free in the descent the stage explodes in a bunch sprint in Porrentruy.
Michael Albasini outsprints his competition and cements his overall lead.
