It was quite an elite group that got off the front of the large break away group. The five that looked like they had enough time over the peloton included, Gorka Izaguirre (Movistar), Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana), Gregor Muhlberger (Bora-Hansgrohe), Giovanni Visconti (Bahrain-Merida) and the erstwhile Maglia Rosa Virtuale, Valero Conti (UAE Team Emirates). Conti was still pushing the pace on, in hopes of a stage since the earlier dreams of the race lead seemed to have slipped away.
