Sky's two Colombians have taken a firm grip on the white jersey of best young rider. Yesterday, high above Lake Como at the small Pian dei Resinelli ski resort, Sergio Henao climbed into the lead. Team-mate Rigoberto Uran sits just over a minute behind in second place.

"The whole team's working well together, the Colombians helped out Mark [Cavendish] on the sprint days and Mark helped them out where he could," Sky sport director, Steven de Jongh told Cycling Weekly. "It's a good combination."
