Race report
A lot of escapes in the early stages of the race. KOM-leader Stefan Denifl is a prominent guest in alle breakaways and he is the first to crest the Itziar and second at the Kalbario and Karabieta, after Rosa, thus cementing his KOM-lead.
Diego Rosa. That’s the man of the day. When a big break away forms after something like 30 kilometres it takes him a few kilometres to decide to go solo. 125 kilometres later he brings an impressive solo home.
The GC-battle rages at the closing climb with Henao en Contador attacking on the lower slopes. Leader Kelderman can’t cope and the duo gobbles up Landa, who had made a prior move, to climb to second and third in the race and one and second in the overall. Contador is now 6 seconds down on the Colombian, while Thibaut Pinot is waiting in the shades in third at 10 seconds.
Wilco Kelderman tumbles into eight overall after finishing over 1 minute down on Henao/Contador.
Fabio Aru and Simon Yates left the race after crashes, while Dan Martin also abandoned.
