The peloton was led by a range of teams, including Movistar, Katusha, Orica-GreenEDGE, Astana and Etixx-Quick-Step. With remaining, the lead had been reduced to just over two minutes. On the second climb of the Côte de Bohissau, after that, Van der Sande and Bono attacked, with only Dillier and Cummings able to follow them from the breakaway. Around later, on the Côte de Solières, Fränk Schleck (Trek-Segafredo) crashed in the peloton and was forced to withdraw from the race, having apparently suffered a broken collarbone. On the penultimate climb of the Mur de Huy, Dillier attacked, with Cummings following; the pair were a minute ahead of the peloton. Cummings attacked alone at the top of the climb and briefly had a 55-second lead, but the peloton was driven hard by Movistar and Katusha and he was caught with remaining.
