244 difficult kilometers from Indicatore to Cittareale, where a demanding final ascent awaited the field on the Selva Rotonda, suggested a battle between the climbers even before the start. And they didn't need to be asked twice. Above all, the Spaniard Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) showed his class. With a full start, he distanced himself from the remaining competitors in the last 200 meters and won ahead of the Colombian Nairo Quintana (Movistar) and his compatriot Daniel Moreno (Katusha). Pole Michal Kwiatkowski (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) continues to lead in the overall standings.
