Alberto Dainese, DCM rider, settled the sprint right under the nose of the favourites.
- Before the return from the mountains this weekend, Juan Pedro Lopez is still in pink with 12 seconds ahead of the Portuguese Almeida and Richard Carapaz who took the bonuses during this 11th stage and who ejects Romain Bardet from the podium.
