    Rear facing cameras show back half of the peloton grinding to a halt as the peloton hits a steep bit.

    Meanwhile Elosegui of Movistar attacks the break, presumably for the €500 prize for the top of the climb.

    Landa has a mechanical and returns to the bunch no drama, who is now led by Mitchelton

    Quick step take it back up and another 5 or so riders drop off the back of the peloton.
