Rated Ascents:

The Race: All the real action was on the final ascent, the above-category Col du Béal where the day's break was caught and the contenders unsheathed their broadswords.

After Sky's Mikel Nieve reduced the front group to a small elite of about six riders, several riders tried to escape, including Wilco Kelderman, Andrew Talansky and Jurgen Van den Broek. But Chris Froome was constantly on guard and did the work of retrieving each attack.

Of the three most serious contenders (Froome, Contador, Nibali), Vincenzo Nibali showed the greatest weakness. He would be dropped and then claw his way back. Alberto Contador refused to work, just following Froome, seemingly without any stuggle. Under the Red Kite Froome attacked a couple of times, each time taking only Contador.

Froome couldn't drop the Spaniard, but he did win the stage and retain his overall lead.
