La tappa è stata caratterizzata dalla fuga a quattro promossa da Sprengers e Van Hecke della Topsport Vlaanderen, Murphy della United Healthcare e da Marco Canola della Bardiani CSF, annullata come prevedibile nel finale, quando si è scatenata la bagarre tra i big. Sergio Henao ha attaccato a 2 km dal traguardo, costringendo Van Garderen e Gesink a lavorare per chiudere su di lui finché a un chilometro e mezzo dalla fine Froome ha sferrato l'attacco decisivo e nessuno ha saputo resistergli.  Domenico Pozzovivo (Ag2R), sesto a 51”, è stato il migliore dei nostri, mentre Vincenzo Nibali ha pagato una condizione ancora non otimale, e ha chiuso 13° a 1’30”.

«Sono molto, molto felice di essere di nuovo in maglia di leader. Siamo arrivati a questa gara con molta meno tensione rispetto a prima e senza grandi aspettative - ha detto il leader della Sky -, ma sono molto ottimista per il prosieguo della stagione».

«Sono felicissimo per la mia prestazione ma anche e soprattutto per il grande lavoro svolto dai miei compagni di squadra. Danny (Pate) e Ben (Swift) hanno impostato un grandissimo ritmo ai piedi della salita e una volta che si è messo in moto tutto il nostro treno ha funzionato a regola d'arte. David (Lopez) ha dato una spinta enorme sul primo tratto ripido che ha fatto molti danni, e quando Mikel (Neve) ha proseguito l'azione il risultati si sono visti. Poi Sergio (Henao) ha attaccato circa 2 km, e ha completato alla perfezione il nostro lavoro. Io non ho fatto altro che finalizzarlo».
