As a result of his victory, Teuns moved up into the overall race lead, after stage 1 winner Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data) was distanced from the peloton during the final climb.
Meanwhile, race favorites Chris Froome and his Ineos teammate Wout Poels finished 24 seconds behind Teuns, as well as Movistar’s Nairo Quintana and Briton Adam Yates.
