Jay Vine launched the initial move. Simon Yates, Rohan Dennis, Jai Hindley and
Mauro Schmid joined him. The group grew a good gap quickly as the peloton reorganized after the climb, and although Yates would not initially ride, the quintet kept the gap into the final kilometers.
Race leader Alberto Bettiol suffered with cramps and dropped from the peloton. The gap to the front shrunk in the closing kilometers, however the win was in front. Hindley made an early move, and Rohan Dennis counter-attacked, getting a gap within 500 meters of the finish line.
He managed to extend it and took a short solo win, aswell as taking crucial time for the overall classification which he now leads. Jay Vine and Mauro Schmid finished second and third two seconds behind, the peloton rode in 11 seconds back.
