Prometteva spettacolo, la settima tappa del Delfinato, e non ha tradito le attese. A far festa sul traguardo della Saint-Martin-le-Vinoux - La Plagne (171,1km) è stato Mark Padun, ucraino della Bahrain Victorious che in questa stagione sta facendo davvero faville.

La corsa, come facile capire, si è decisa sulla lunga salita finale di 17 km: a far esplodere la corsa è stata soprattutto la Movistar capitanata da un grande Valverde. A 7 km dalla conclusione, l'affondo di Porte che è stato seguito da Mas, Kuss e Padun, mentre in gruppo faceva il ritmo Izagirre per Lutsenko.

Kuss e Padun hanno accelerato in coppia finché Padun ha staccato l'avversario ed è andato a conquistare una vittoria prestigiosa. Nel gruppo dei migliori, a fare la differenza è stato Porte: l'australiano ha attaccato come detto con Mas, poi ha sfruttato il lavoro dei Movistar quando Lopez li ha raggiunto e poi ha attaccato ancora nell'ultimo chilometro staccando Lopez e andando a conquistarsi la maglia gialla.

In casa Italia un'altra prova non convincente di Fabio Aru che si è staccato presto dai migliori ed ha tagliato il traguardo con 9 minuti di ritardo da Padun. Un segnale decisamente preoccupante in vista del Tour de France.

Domani l'ottava tappa - che va da La Léchère-Les-Bains a Les Gets per 147 km - promette altro spettacolo e i giochi, naturlmente, sono ancora apertissimi.
