Froome finished fifth in the ski resort east of Trento, 10 seconds behind stage winner Pello Bilbao (Astana), one place behind Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) but four seconds ahead of Fabio Aru (UAE Team Emirates).

Everyone at Team Sky was upbeat at the hotel after the riders put in a solid performance controlling the pace on the Serrada climb.
