Yesterday's hilly encounter was not that decisive, however today's looks another steep test with two first cat climbs and a tricky ending with a short uncategorised climb near the finish.
Mobil have a powerful squad but Ciocan's lead is small so any sort of a decisive attack could yield big dividends.
It is one of the hardest starts to any stage anywhere in the world to the stage with a long hard climb to kick things off.
Duchesne Barton Tanovitchii Bret
break clear.
Hocevar is chasing but struggling in no mans land.
Duchesne is one of the rider 20 seconds down, so early pressure on Mobil.
Tabovitchii in the break is the only rider with KoM points and the others in the break allow him free access to the top points on the first climb.
It means Tanovitchii will draw level with Golas (Privat) the current KoM leader. Barton crosses second ahead of Duchesne and Bret, Hocevar is a couple of minutes behind in 5th.
Andersson attacks the pack near the top to take sixth place points, with no one bothered for 7th.
The final intermediate sprint sees Duchesne take it again, with Andersson second and Barton third.
It moves Duchesne to four seconds down and Andersson to 8 seconds down on GC.
60km to go: The six man breaks lead is down to three minutes.
It is a determined chase from Mobil then and as the break turn onto the final categorised climb with 32km to go the lead is less than a minute to the sprinter shelled pack.
The attacks begin in earnest from the pack with the GC men knowing they have to really up the ante.
First it is Feillu and Niemec
This move reels in the break.
Attacking past the break Feillu continues on with Niemec, Jumabekov, Furdi and Vorganov.
1 kilometere from the top Vorganov, Feillu, Jumabekov and Furdi forge clear.
Dahlberg, Marzano, Mori and the tireless Andersson chase at 16 seconds.
Race leader Ciocan latches onto the the third wave of attackers.
Firsonov and Gingsjo pull Ciocan past the fading Niemec.
Things start to settle over the top of this breakneck climb that has really shake things up.
23km to go:
Furdi, Vorganov, Feillu, and Jumabekov (all starting the day at 20 seconds) lead.
Group 2: Marzano, Mori and Dahlberg at 24 seconds (Mori was at 8 seconds this morning, Marzano and Dalhberg at 20 seconds.
Group 3: Chaofi, Firsonov, Golas, Purito, Andersson, Gingsjo, Ohrouhlicky, Niemec and Ciocan at 57 seconds. (Again most of these riders are within 20 seconds of the race leader).
55 rider pack is at 2.55, Moren, Siskevicius, Roman, Carrara have teammates up the road and so are sacrificing their personal ambitions here. Also Dechesne is here who unlike Andersson who is up the road, his bonifications at the sprints is now looking worthless.
Purito attacks his 9 man group on the descent.
15km to go: The Kappa boys and Dahlberg have hooked up with the leaders.
Purito is at 23 seconds
Yellow jersey group is at 1.12
Pack is at 3.35
Rodriguez cannot seem to make the junction with the lead group of seven, they are now starting to attack each other.
Dahlberg pushes hard on a rise with 9km to go.
Furdi pulls him back with 6km left.
5km left: It is one of these seven with Purito 45 seconds back.
Andersson and Ciocan are dropped from the chase group!
Up front the seven man lead group have reached the sprint.
Furdi has been forced to lead out. Mori is the best GC man in second, then Vorganov, Jumerbekov, Feillu, Marzano and Dahlberg.
Forcing Furdi to lead out has jaded the Croat's sprint as Mori, Jumerbekov and Marzano come streaming past.
Mori is well clear under the kite with Marzano now passing Jumebekov.
What a sight for Kappa!
Marzano wins over new GC leader Mori.
Jumebekov takes third and indeed third in GC
No bonifications for the other four who will play the countback game.
Furdi is 4th today over Vorganov, Feillu and Dahlberg.
The second group is minus Andersson and the yellow jersey, Firsonov leads them home with Golas led home by Niemec. Ohrouhlicky is also here as he and Golas defend their high GC places.
Ciocan lost touch here, a bad day for Mobil.
Carrara and Moren lead a 14 man group who sprint away from the pack at the end.
Mudarra is forced to withdraw missing the time cut.
