The road
How it was won
- 56 km to go
Tinkoff turn the screw
The day's only climb, fifty kilometres out, and Tinkoff-Saxo set a ferocious pace for Contador with Astana tucked in behind guarding Aru. Nine minutes of breakaway advantage simply evaporates.
- At the line
Viviani's first Grand Tour stage
Greipel opens at 200 metres and fades; Hofland comes past him on the right; and then Elia Viviani, with no lead-out train at all, does exactly the same thing to Hofland inside the last 25 metres.
The result
