Un soberbio David de la Cruz fue casi el mejor de la etapa y su estreno como profesional. Sólo se lo impidió el colombiano Esteban Chaves, que atacó al catalán y a Tom Danielson a 4 kilómetros de la cima de la Mountain High para anotarse su primera victoria de 2014 y tercera como profesional tras la etapa de las Lagunas de Neila en Burgos y el GP Camaiore en 2012 con el equipo Colombia. Vestido con los colores del Orica australiano supo meterse en la fuga buena y aprovechar sus dotes de escalador en la ascensión final.
Fue sin duda una de las mejores actuaciones como profesional de un De la Cruz -ya fue segundo en la Vuelta a Asturias y cuarto en Castilla y León 2012- que también estuvo listo para insertarse en la escapada -donde también estuvo el español Javier Megías– y aguantar los kilómetros finales y la guerra de guerrilas típica para jugarse la etapa, merced al colchón de segundos respecto al pelotón prinicipal. El corredor del NetApp alemán ya es décimo en la general provisional.
Un grupo en el que Bradley Wiggins, respaldado por un gran Sky, y con su alto ritmo de cadencia, defendió con calidad su maillot amarillo ahuyentado los ataques del Garmin -con King y Acevedo– y aguantando el duro ritmo de Stetina. Rohan Dennis esta vez no pudo y tuvo que conformarse a seguir la rueda del ganador del Tour de Francia 2012.
