It ended dramatically: 29 riders went on the run, and not for the first time in this year's race, "Israel Premier Tech" tried to attack and put two riders on the run, the Canadians Mike Woods and Hugo Hall.
Hall had a bit of a hard time in the first ascent of the day but then made an impressive and surprising move: he came back big in the descent and started attacking the rest of the escape group at the beginning of the climb to Moore de Fujer.
The last ascent.
He reached the top with a 30-second gap over the two riders behind him who teamed up with Mike Woods.
An exciting moment.
