Going Early V-28
Alberto Contador (Trek-Segafredo), racing his final professional race, started the day over three minutes off of the race leader, Chris Froome (Sky). There was no way to pull back that kind of time in the last couple of kilometers on the way to the mountain top finish. So he launched his attack with 10 kilometers to go to the summit of the penultimate climb up the Alto del Purche. Joining the much beloved Spaniard was the young Colombian, Miguel Angel Lopez (Astana) as they jumped free of the Team Sky lead peloton.
