Maiuscola prestazione di Lukas Postlberger nella seconda tappa del Critérium du Dauphiné, da Brioude a Saugues di 172 chilometri. Protagonista di giornata l’austriaco Postlberger (Bora Hansgrohe) che si è lanciato in una bella azione solitaria resistendo al ritorno degli avversari sull’impegnativa ascesa alla Cote de Masset posta a soli sette chilometri dall’arrivo. L’attacco dell’austriaco ha scatenato la reazione nel gruppo con Valverde, Geraint Thomas, Izagirre, Aranburu e Colbrelli fra i più attivi nell’inseguimento. In difficoltà invece la maglia gialla di leader Van Moer e Chris Froome che fin dalle prime rampe hanno perso contatto. Postlberger taglia dunque in solitaria il traguardo anticipando di 11″ i più immediati inseguitori regolati da un pimpante Colbrelli (in maglia verde di leader della punti) con Valverde che chiude in terza posizione. L Postlberger assapora così la prima vittoria stagionale che gli vale anche il primato in classifica generale.
