Having done what he could on the front for Chris Froome (Sky) Gianni Moscon (Sky) joined up with one of the groups further down the final climb up to the observatory and the end of the stage. He was with a group that contained the Italian National Champion, Fabio Aru (Astana) and Michael Woods (Cannondale-Drapac) both of whom were losing more time to Froome. On the front of this the third group is David de la Cruz (Quickstep) who had an ill-timed puncture and was riding hard to limit his loses.
