Thibaut Pinot's solo win

The Race: With its hard climb to the finish, this was a stage that everyone knew would shake up the overall standings, and it did not disappoint.

FDJ rider Thibaut Pinot went clear on the HC-rated final Sölden/Rettenbach climb, passing escapee Stefan Denifl (who was ninth today) to finish more than a half-minute clear of his nearest chaser, Domenico Pozzovivo.

Pinot's exploit made him the new overall leader, replacing previous GC leader Tom Dumoulin, who finished tenth today.

The question l'Equipe asked, can Pinot hold his lead through Sunday's 38-kilometer time trial? Geraint Thomas, an excellent chrono man, is sitting in fifth place, just 43 seconds behind Pinot. This race is far from over.
