With a very hard profile for a first stage, an important day of the race. A long list of top climbers on the startlist considering it is just a HC race, Pozzovivo, Aru, Pantano, Nieve, Porte, Bardet, Nibali, Poels and from Astana Jakob Fuglsang

Despite the profile a rather uneventful day with a large group approaching the top together, Fuglsang strongest in the end, with 30 riders getting the same time.

1	Jakob Fuglsang	Astana Pro Team	3h52'25
2	Domenico Pozzovivo	Bahrain - Merida	s.t.
3	Vincenzo Nibali	Bahrain - Merida	s.t.

The first was hard this one is insane, selection already in the first climb, especially Nibali very aggressive today making sure this time selection is unavoidable. Nibali pays the price but Bahrain had a plan, teammate Pozzovivo counter. Jakob Fuglsang though, not beatable in this race and takes his 2nd stage win.

1	Jakob Fuglsang	Astana Pro Team	4h15'51
2	Domenico Pozzovivo	Bahrain - Merida	+ 9
3	Wout Poels	Team Sky	+ 26

A large breakaway took of early making it possiable for Victor De La Parte (CCC Team) and Ian Boswell (Katusha- Alpecin) to be part of the final. Again Jakob Fuglsang absolutely unbeatable, attacked over the last climb and won the 3rd stage in a row.

We witnessed one of the ugliest looking crashed in modern cycling, unbelievable that all those riders were able to get to the finish line. Astana’s Jan Hirt escaped with a bruised knee and some scratches.

1	Jakob Fuglsang	Astana Pro Team	3h39'35
2	Domenico Pozzovivo	Bahrain - Merida	s.t.
3	Victor De La Parte	CCC Team	s.t.

A hilly stage with downhill finish
Simulated by mistake

1	Kasper Asgreen	Deceuninck-Quick Step	3h20'07
2	Jarlinson Pantano	Trek - Segafredo	s.t.
3	Jakob Fuglsang	Astana Pro Team	s.t.

Another stage full of climbs with three climbs packed together directly before the downhill finish, but not as steep and long as the earlier stages.

A large breakaway with ten riders, way down in GC, will dominate the stage and share the stage podium. The favorites arrived 6’18 later with no impact on the final GC.

Guillaume Van Keirsbulck (CCC Team) won the stage 49� in front of Nathan Earle (Israël - Cycling Academy)

1	Guillaume Van Keirsbulck	CCC Team	4h33'30
2	Nathan Earle	Israël - Cycling Academy	+ 49
3	Remco Evenepoel	Deceuninck-Quick Step	+ 1'18

Final GC:

1	Jakob Fuglsang	Astana Pro Team	19h47'12
2	Wout Poels	Team Sky	+ 1'20
3	Jarlinson Pantano	Trek - Segafredo	+ 1'40
4	Mattia Cattaneo	Androni Giocattoli - Sidermec	+ 1'57
