Tired of chasing the attackers, once Chris Froome (Team Sky) had lost the last of his teammates, the leader of Sky and the race launched one of his own. The duo of Froome and his former teammate, Richie Porte (BMC) road the rest of the contenders off of their wheels. Nairo Quintana (Movistar) and the Maillot Blanc of Adam Yates (Orica-BikeExchange) tried and failed to go with the attack. The fans behind these two are pointing at the one rider who was coming across the gap. Unexpectedly, it was Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) who had the legs to give chase to the leader of the race and the leader of the team that is leading the race. As the riders climbed ever closer to the end of the stage, the crowds grew in number and enthusiasm.
