The two elite riders of Team BMC, Sarrou and Zanotti, were the last ones to get on the course at an altitude of 1,950 meters. The former French world champion managed to stay with the fastest riders for two laps, but ultimately had to settle for a spot in the top 10. Zanotti might have hoped for a slightly better result, but had to be content with 18th place.
