The duo of Jacques Janse Van Rensburg (Dimension Data) and Jan Polanc (UAE Team Emirates) vied to be the first to summit the Portella Femmina Morta. Van Rensberg had the lead and drifted towards the barriers closing the door for Polanc to get through. Perhaps the move kept Polanc from taking the climb, most likely he wouldn't have gotten it regardless. Polanc reached out a pushed Van Rensburg over and exchanged a few displeased words with his rival. The pair argued most of the way down the climb, but then got back to working together to stay away from the peloton.
