Nairo Quintana continued his fine run of form with a commanding victory, the Movistar rider powered clear of his rivals to win the stage and cement overall victory by 23 seconds. Arroyo demonstrated a return to form with second on the stage, 23secs back on Quintana to secure the same result overall. Nibali slipped back in the closing stages but ensured the final place on the final podium, 55secs back.

Race Report

The 170-kilometre queen stage was always likely to decide the race and so it proved on a day that featured no less than seven categorised climbs. With teams and riders looking to make plans for later on in the day there was a big fight to get into the break, with a number of prospective moves being shut down in the early going.

Xabier Zandio of Team Sky made his way into a brief 14-man effort which featured representation from a number of top teams - yet with the pace high the riders were hauled back for another regrouping. Eventually a move stuck and it proved to be the chosen quintet of Ben Gastauer (AG2R-La Mondiale), Robinson Chalapud (Colombia), Amets Txurruka (Caja Rural), Igor Merino (Euskadi) and Francesco Failli (Vini Fantini) who escaped ahead of the day’s first significant climb.

Movistar took up the running and were happy with the situation up the road, gradually turning the screw to thin out the peloton before the final ascent. Just 17 men remained with two climbs to go and the Spanish team’s hard work was not misplaced as Quintana added another victory to his collection. With five kilometres to go Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) accelerated clear, dragging Quintana and Ivan Basso (Cannondale) with him on the steep slopes. David Arroyo (Caja Rural) made it four a kilometre later as the quartet went on to battle for the victory. Arroyo was the first to attack, but a response from Nibali only served to create a launch pad for Quintana, the Colombian powering clear to distance his three rivals who will ride the upcoming Vuelta a Espana.
