The road
How it was won
- 37 km to go
Three seconds for Chavanel
The Frenchman takes the intermediate sprint and the bonus seconds with it, and the sprint promptly detonates the break: Tjallingii and Gougeard jump away, the rest drift back to a peloton warming up along the Mediterranean.
- At the line
Sagan finally wins one
Sky lead down the highway descent into Málaga, Giant put three men in front of Degenkolb, and the German opens with his shoulders rolling. It is not enough: Peter Sagan comes past and ends a very long run of second places.
