A day after being relegated from first to third, Lorena Wiebes (SD Worx) came back with another sprint victory. The Dutch sprinter had all her teammates work hard to reel in a breakaway on the final kilometres, but the escapees were still 12 seconds ahead coming onto the uphill finishing straight.

Wiebes opened her sprint early and came past on the final metres to win the stage ahead of Elisa Balsamo (Trek-Segafredo) and Sheyla Gutiérrez (Movistar), the best-placed rider from the breakaway.
