Simon Yates (Team BikeExchange) wygrał klasyfikację generalną Tour of the Alps. Na ostatnim etapie triumfował Felix Grossschartner (BORA – hansgrohe).
Ostatnią odsłoną tegorocznej edycji Tour of the Alps był etap z Valle del Chiese/Idroland do Riva del Garda. Na 120 kilometrach kolarze będą musieli zmierzyć się z Passo Duron (6,4 km; 7,9%) oraz dwukrotnie z Lago di Tenno (8,5 km; 6,2%).
Od samego początku mieliśmy kilka ataków i ostatecznie ucieczkę utworzyło 16 kolarzy. W mocnym odjeździe znaleźli się: Vadim Pronskiy (Astana – Premier Tech), Felix Grossschartner i Matteo Fabbro (obaj BORA – hansgrohe), Alessandro De Marchi i Dan Martin (obaj Israel Start-Up Nation), Tony Gallopin i François Bidard (obaj AG2R Citroën Team), Nicolas Roche i Michael Storer, (obaj Team DSM), Tejay Van Garderen (EF Education – Nippo), Thibaut Pinot (Groupama – FDJ), Nick Schultz (Team BikeExchange), Hermann Pernsteiner (Bahrain – Victorious), Julen Amezqueta (Caja Rural – Seguros RGA), Iván Ramiro Sosa (INEOS Grenadiers) oraz Georg Steinhauser (Tirol KTM Cycling Team).

Na Passo Duron pierwszy zameldował się De Marchi, który objął prowadzenie w klasyfikacji górskiej. Włoch był także zwycięzcą lotnej premii w Fiavé.
Na zjeździe z Ballino ucieczka podzieliła się i na czele znaleźli się: Pinot, Grossschartner, De Marchi, Gallopin, Roche, Amezqueta oraz Steinhauser. 40 kilometrów przed metą mieli oni 40 sekund przewagi nad kolejną grupką i 2 minuty nad peletonem z liderem, Simonem Yatesem.
Ostatnią górską premię w wyścigu wygrał Steinhauser, ale to Alessandro De Marchi (Israel Start-Up Nation) został królem gór Tour of the Alps. Na pierwszym zjeździe z Lago di Tenno z peletonu skontrował Gianluca Brambilla (Trek – Segafredo).
19 kilometrów przed metą czołówka rozpadła się, a chwilę później w peletonie upadło kilku kolarzy, w tym Aleksandr Vlasov (Astana – Premier Tech). Na czele samotnie zaatakował Grossschartner, który miał wielką ochotę na etapowy skalp.
Na szczycie Lago di Tenno Austriak miał prawie minutę przewagi nad konkurentami i tylko 11 kilometrów do mety. Na zjeździe w pogoń ruszyli Daniel Felipe Martínez (INEOS Grenadiers) i Geoffrey Bouchard (AG2R Citroën Team).
Kolarz BORA – hansgrohe zjeżdżał na tyle dobrze, że nie stracił wiele ze swojej przewagi i na mecie w Riva del Garda mógł cieszyć się ze swojego czwartego triumfu w karierze. Drugi był Nicolas Roche (Team DSM), a trzeci Alessandro De Marchi (Israel Start-Up Nation).
Klasyfikację generalną wygrał Simon Yates (Team BikeExchange).
