Miguel \u00c1ngel L\u00f3pez did everything he could, making the stage very entertaining in the process. He attacked with 60 km to go but Rogli\u010d and Valverde eventually caught up to him. Faltering Quintana and Poga\u010dar lost quite a lot of time, though. So, L\u00f3pez now sits just 46 seconds behind the Colombian. Third place is well within his reach. Will he take it?
