Just like in yesterday's stage a big breakaway group was formed early in the stage and in the end it was one of the riders of this group who won the stage. Indeed, Alessandro de Marchi (Cannondale) placed a final attack at the right moment in the climb towards Risoul to get over the very well performing Tim Wellens (Lotto-Belisol) and win the stage.

In the end it was Samuel Sanchez who won this stage in a duo formed with Jakob Fuglsang on the Col du Noyer.
