Victory on the climb, which ramped up to 21%, elevated Henao into an eight-second race lead in the Basque Country while team-mate Richie Porte completed a great day for Team Sky with sixth on the stage, enough to occupy third overall, 10 seconds back. A consistent opening trio of stages also saw Henao pull on the points jersey.
The 25-year-old had been active on the final climb of the Alto de la Lejana, kicking early on to thin out the lead group before attacking a second time in the final metres, bridging across to Betancur and fellow escapee Giampaolo Caruso (Katusha) on the fan-lined climb.
Caruso held on for third ahead of a number of contenders, led home by Nairo Quintana (Movistar) eight seconds back while Diego Ulissi (Lampre-Merida), Porte, Alberto Contador (Team Saxo-Tinkoff) and Simon Spilak (Katusha) claimed places five-through-eight, all 10 seconds back.
Ramping up
A key battleground in the fight for the general classification, the 167.7-kilometre day kicked off with no riders able to go clear on the run out of Vitoria-Gasteiz as a break struggled to form.
Five men finally made a move stick ahead of the opening climb of the Alto de Zarate – Amets Txurruka (Caja Rural) surprising by attacking for the third day in a row alongside team-mate Omar Fraile, Mikel Landa (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale) and Daniel Navarro (Cofidis).
Movistar came to the front and set a hard pace as the race entered the final climbs, finally consuming the breakaway with 9km left ahead of the Alto de la Lejana.
In the finale the big names came to the fore on the steep early slopes, Henao taking it up to leave just 10 riders at the head of affairs before a brief regrouping as the gradient slackened off.
A brief descent saw a speculative dig from Betancur and Caruso causing the favourites to look around before Henao launched his winning attack.
Special display
“It was another extraordinary day,” said Sport Director Nicolas Portal back at the team hotel. “Especially on such a hard stage it was great to get the win. It was a special Basque climb today so it was great that the team could make their mark on this stage.
“Sergio was really strong at the end and made the right move. Richie was behind always in control so it was a near-perfect result for the team.
“The climb was hard as it was really narrow in places and the gradient always changed. There was a big effort to be at the front for the start and then it flattened out again. At the end the gradient was horrible! If you aren’t in good this is a climb that can finish you after two kilometres.”
With Henao now in yellow attention turns to defending the race lead, a task made difficult with the team having just six riders in the race.
“We don’t have the full team here,” Portal explained. “The peloton knows this and it won’t be easy. We will do our best to control things but I would expect other teams to come through towards the finish as was the case today.”
