In an unbelievable snowstorm, Van de Velde reached the summit 1'10" ahead of Hampsten. Breukink followed closely and was third over. Hampsten and Breukink passed Van de Velde (who later said that he covered most of the first eight miles down on foot) on the muddy descent and rode, more or less, together into Bormio. In Bormio, Breukink sprinted away from Hampsten to win the stage by 7 seconds.
