Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain-Merida) is a brilliant descender and used his skill on the final descent of the day. He was able to bridge across to Mikel Landa (Sky) on the technical drop down from the Umbrail Pass of the Stelvio. The pair were able to hold off the chasing Nairo Quintana (Movistar) as they sprialed down to Bormio. All three were hoping they would be moving up the leader board given the problems plaquing the Maglia Rosa and some of the others furthe up the pass.
