De La Cruz's breakaway put enough time into the group of overnight race leader Nairo Quintana (Movistar) to lead the Colombian by 22 seconds, with Alejandro Valverde in third at 41.

Etixx-Quickstep now have the best Grand Tour stage record in the WorldTour peloton - seven stage wins between the three Grand Tours and three different riders donning leaders' jerseys - Marcel Kittel (Giro), Gianluca Brambilla (Giro) and now De La Cruz.
