He had done well on the first two stages, managing to keep pace with race leaders, and was well-placed going into the third and final stage in 17th place, but only 13 seconds behind then-race leader Michael Woods. He was a part of the day's main breakaway group of 16 riders. As the breakaway began to disintegrate on the slopes of the last categorized climb, the Col de la Madone, Brambilla attacked, with only Valentin Madouas able to follow. With around 11 kilometers left, he attacked again, and this time Madouas was unable to keep up. Brambilla pushed on over the last climb, the uncategorized Col de Nice, and managed to hold on for the stage win. Despite Woods' best efforts to maintain his lead, he and Brambilla's teammate Bauke Mollema finished in a group 18 seconds behind Brambilla, giving the Italian the overall win.
