A 114 km mountain stage to continue the mountains. The stage is simply up and down an enormous climb, with an intermediate sprint near the line. The climb is long, but not very steep and far from the finish, so it is much more likely we will see an attack on the descent or off of the intermediate sprint near the end of the stage:
That wasn't going to stop anyone from trying to break away, and after a lot of attacks we had a 14-man break:
They are Pacheco (Nespresso), Barrio (Wii), Rollin (Ernst and Young), Cunha (Energie), Sawada and Shimado (Ultra Adventure), Giling and van Groen (Jack Wolfskin), Damrow and Arvesen (NVidia), Grychenko and Renier (Kenda), and Nino and Guerao (Santander).
Arvesen won the KOM sprint, in front of 3 other riders (who were 16" back). The rest of the break had been dropped and gobbled up by the pack, which was only 35" behind him:
With and additional 20 points, to make it 50 points for Arvesen, and none for Li, keeping him at 38, Arvesen moves into the KOM jersey.
Arvesen would be caught a short way down the climb, by a group of 47 riders. With 33 km to go, that group had now swelled to 63 riders, after a few small groups caught back up.
Carrara (Olympus), the sprint leader, took a tight intermediate sprint:
The Ernst and Young rider he barely beat was Valjavec, who was actually attacking, and he quickly got a gap. More riders attacked, and he was caught by Efimkin (Starbucks) and Astarloza (NVidia):
The situation with 3 km to go (all gaps to previous group):
E1: Valjavec, Astarloza, and Efimkin
E2 (+10): Riblon (Wii), Evans (Olympus), Raisin (Ernst and Young), Vasquez (Nespresso), Jaramillo (Starbucks)
P (+20): 55 riders
Efimkin would easily outsprint Astarloza, with Valjavec just holding off the charging group of 5 chasers:
A remarkable third straight win for Starbucks, they also keep the leader's jersey, as although the top eight riders received a 38" gap to the pack, Efimkin was the rider who inherited the shirt from Ciccarese.
