Stage 7 photos | Stage 7 map and profile |

The Race: A hard-working break with Winner Anacona, Bjorn Thurau, Robinson Chalapud, Nicolas Boem and Nathan Hass went almost from the start and wasn't mopped up until 2.5 km to go. The sprinters didn't want to let this stage get away.

Under the Red Kite Giant-Shimano was leading the pack, working to get a stage win by Luka Mezgec, but Nacer Bouhanni jumped in the leadout train.

Bouhanni, clearly the fastest rider, came around from several positions back to win the stage by just a half-wheel ahead of Giacomo Nizzolo.

Michael Matthews finished fourth and retains his overal lead.
