With just one more climb up the Coite de San Luca, Nelson Oliviera (Movistar) jumped clear of the rest of the early break away. Both Kevin Vauquelin (Arkea-B&B Hotels) and Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X Mobility) struggled, but finally caught the wheel of the Frenchman. As they climb up the colannade lined hill out of Bologne, it was Vauquelin that went on the offensive. That move was the end of Oliviera, but Abrahamsen was able to regain the slipstream of the Arkea man (for a little while anyway).
