Quintana finished the 94.2-mile ride from Trapagaran to Eibar in 3 hours, 58 minutes, 52 seconds. The Movistar rider shaved 2 seconds off his fellow Colombian’s lead to remain in second place, 6 seconds off the pace.

Riders face the next-to-last stage on Friday, a 103-mile leg with 10 summits to cross between Eibar and Beasain.
