Friday's fifth stage of seven is expected to decide the race as it culminates with a gruelling 8.4km climb to Lo Port. Stage four was shortened by 60 kilometres because of snow at the start. Tour de France champion Froome made a break on the descent from the final climb along with Movistar's Alejandro Valverde and Marco Soler, and David Gaudu of FDJ, but they were caught by the peloton with five kilometres left.

"It's a big, big day tomorrow so we'll rest up now, fuel up, and see what we've got." General classification: 1. Tejay van Garderen (U.S. / BMC Racing) 13 hours 29 minutes 2.
