 With 3 km ( 1 @.@ 9 mi ) remaining , Roche pulled off and Geraint Thomas ( Team Sky ) attacked the small group of leaders . He gained a small lead and was joined by Jakob Fuglsang ( Astana ) and Simon Špilak ( Team Katusha ) . Tejay van Garderen ( BMC Racing Team ) and Rubén Fernández ( Movistar Team ) attempted to bridge across , but Fernández , while looking at the group behind , cycled straight into Van Garderen and crashed . Richie Porte ( Team Sky ) covered this move . He was again able to follow as Michał Kwiatkowski attacked . When Kwiatkowski had caught Thomas 's group inside the final one kilometre ( 0 @.@ 6 mi ) , Porte himself attacked . Thomas , his teammate , was the only rider able to follow him and they finished first and second on the stage . Kwiatkowski finished third , eight seconds behind .
