Todays stage was coloured by a long break which was iniated after 10 kilometres. Claude Wolter (Differdange)
and Cyril Lemoine (Credit Agricole) took off. But CSC controlled the race and the escapees were caught in the final part of
the race. In the last kilometres there were several attacks, one of them by Michael Albasini (Liquigas) but CSC took care
that all attempts were fruitless.
"It was the nicest possible way to arrive at Fränk and Andy's hometown and when JJ has a good sprint he's almost impossible
to beat. The last 30 kilometers of the stage turned out to be quite dangerous because it poured down with rain and the riders
were barely able to see each other. Luckily we didn't have any crashes and Fabian managed to line JJ up perfectly for the
sprint. Tomorrow's stage might be decided in a sprint as well but our primary focus is on the overall victory," said CSC's
sports director Kim Andersen after the 177-kilometer stage.
Fabian Cancellara defended his overall lead.
