Stage 18 Photos:

Vasil Kiryienka on his terrific solo ride.

Chris Anker Sörensen was only a half minute behind.

Adam Hansen

Martin Kohler

Chris Horner has dropped Nibali in the final kilometer.

Joaquim Rodriguez

Nicolas Roche and Alejandro Valverde

I think this is Thibaut Pinot leading Sanchez, Van Rensburg and Konig

Mikel Cherel and Domenico Pozzovivo

Again, Nibali can only limit the damage.

Stage winner Vasil Kiryienka

Vincenzo Nibali held on to the lead by just 3 seconds.
