Stage 13

The road

At the start

La Camperona, and red on a Cofidis rider

The break rode the whole day away to the lighthouse and took the jersey with it: Jesús Herrada is in red, 3:22 up on Simon Yates and 3:23 on Alejandro Valverde. Today ends on the Alto de la Camperona — 175 kilometres over the Puerto de Tarna, and then three kilometres at up to twenty per cent. The men three minutes down will fancy taking most of it back this afternoon.

How it was won

1. 170 km to go

   Over the Puerto de Tarna

   De Gendt leads the 32-man break over the category 1 Puerto de Tarna, their advantage still more than six minutes with 70km to go.

2. 23 km to go

   Majka forces La Camperona

   On the vertiginous final 3km, where the gradient tops 20 per cent, Majka forces the pace and only Teuns can go with him.

3. 31 km to go

   Rodríguez edges across

   The 23-year-old debutant Óscar Rodríguez claws his way up to the two WorldTour riders and, glancing back, rises from the saddle to hammer clear.

4. 4At the line

   Rodríguez wins on La Camperona

   Rodríguez soloes to his maiden professional win; two minutes back, Quintana kicks away from Yates within sight of the line as the GC fight catches fire.
