Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 The peloton very much thinned out on the first climb of the Bourigaille, but all the main GC favourites are in there. Sergio Henao is tucked in between teammates at the head of the line.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 30km remaining from 192kmThe road levels out and starts to head uphill for our two leaders.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 De Marchi and Sepulveda drive out of the saddle to tackle these double-digit gradients.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 No attacks just yet as Sky tap out a steady rhythm on the front. We've seen this before. Deignan has pulled off but Henao still has two men with him.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Alaphilippe tags onto the Sky men, but this group has thinned out massively.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Sergio Henao leads the bunch over the first crossing of the finish line. It's also an intermediate sprint point, and so the Colombian gains one second for the GC.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 The group of favourites closes in on the leaders. De Marchi calls it quits, while Sepulveda tries to drag it out for a bit longer.

Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 The Orica-Scott man is wearing the white jersey of best young rider, on loan from Alaphilippe, and he has a few seconds over the rest as he comes over the top.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Nieve pulls off now, leaving Henao at the head of the group. Fuglsang's dig comes to nought and Dan Martin now leads the group down the hill.
