In the catagory of "Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained" Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain Merida) attacked the peloton near the summit of the final climb in hopes of using his descending skill to gain time on the Red Jersey of Chris Froome (Sky), unfortunately, others were able to stay with the flying Italian, so the plan just didn't work. As the reduced group hit the bottom of the climb, it was Nicolas Roche (BMC) who lead them through the final turns. Roche was able to surprise the regrouped peloton that had declared a truce and gain almost half a minute on all of his general classification rivals. Sneaky!
