It was Gorka Izaguirre (Movistar) who had the legs for the climb up to the line. He had taken a tighter line on the sharp corner that came just inside the flame rouge than Valerio Conti (UAE Team Emirates) and was therefore able to avoid the Italian when he slid out in the corner. Izaguirre was able to press on the advantage he gained on those who were slowed by the crash. Behind him, Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana) and Giovanni Visconti (Bahrain-Merida) struggled to get back on terms with the Movistar rider.
