Simone Ponzi (AST) was first into the final corner to take the stage ahead of compatriot Daniele Ratto (CAN), the stage winner benefiting from a solid lead-out from team-mate and Giro d’Italia winner Vincenzo Nibali.

Race Report

Exactly a month after his heart-breaking exit from the Tour de France, Kiryienka hit out as the race left the centre of Burgos ahead of the 139-kilometre test. After a brief solo effort the Belarusian combined with five more riders to make a move stick as the peloton massed behind. The day was marred by a large crash in the bunch featuring a number of Team Sky riders, including Cataldo who finished the stage without a transponder on his bike. Late on the break made some final attempts to go clear, Christian Meier (Orica-GreenEDGE) the last rider to be caught with 13km to go.
