The Race: Well, we now have a good picture of how the next few stages will play out. While an escape group that started 25 riders strong was off the front and and getting whittled down to a couple of riders, the real race was going on a little further back.
Today had a first-category climb that came near the stage end. Fabio Aru, who sits just three seconds behind overall race leader Tom Dumoulin, threw out attack after attack. Each time Dumoulin was able to close up to Aru.
Then, on the downhill Dumoulin used his greater overall speed and power to attack Aru. Now it was Aru's turn to pound back up to Dumoulin. The two finished in the same group with the same time. Status quo ante bellum.
Up front, it was down to breakaways riders Nicolas Roche and Haimar Zubeldia. Roche started the sprint early and used his greater speed to good effect, winning the stage.
Explaining the frenetic finish, Roche told Eurosport: "There was a rider 20 seconds behind [José Goncalves] and when we saw that I just said 'let's just ride to the finish and we'll do a mano a mano sprint'. It was actually really good and we co-operated well since the 15km to go sign. I think that was our only chance.
"Coming into the sprint I wanted to lead it out. Haimar is someone who has got a lot of experience and I've lost a few sprints against him in the past, in [Clasica] San Sebastian for example. I didn't want to have a slow-start sprint, I wanted to have a really high speed one.
"I thought I'd try and manage my own pace. I smiled because I was happy that it worked. I thought 'yes, for once I didn't mess up'. I've had a few second and third places and I've always lacked that little small bit at the finish. Today it finally worked out."
