Ritorno al successo di Richie Porte che inaugura così la stagione in maglia BMC. Sull’impegnativo traguardo di Villunga Hill, l’australiano ha messo in fila il colombiano Henau (giunto a 6”) e il canadese Woods (9” il suo ritardo). Il gruppetto degli immediati inseguitori composto da 9 unità, e giunto con un gap di 17” dal vincitore ed è stato regolato allo sprint da Diego Ulissi. In questo plotone erano presente anche il leader Simon Gerrans e il nostro Domenico Pozzovivo.
Gerrans ha conservato la maglia, per quanto riguarda la classifica generale a tempi; il suo vantaggio appare adesso risicato (appena 9”) su Richie Porte.
