Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) was safely in the field and defended his overall lead, with no changes in the top of the GC.
The short stage saw Iljo Keisse (Etixx-QuickStep), Marco Bandiera (Androni Giocattoli) and Giacomo Berlato (Nippo-Vini Fantini) form an early break, which stayed away, but not far away, for much of the day. Adam Hansen (Lotto-Soudal) and Luca Paolini (Katusha) were in late and unsuccessful breaks.
The day added to Lampre-Merida’s success at the Giro. It was Modolo’s second stage win, after winning the mass sprint in Jesolo on stage 13. The team can now claim four wins, with Jan Polanc taking stage 5 and Diego Ulissi stage 7.
