The stage to Briancon, a Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré legend, was a day of consolidation with the stars keeping each others under observation. The stage opened for Spanish Ingo Cuesta (ONCE), who was a long way behind in the general classification, and his compatriot Pablo Lastras (Banesto) who left the others more than three minutes behind, with Cuesta 19 seconds ahead of Lastras.

Leading rider, Tyler Hamilton showed a little bit of weakness losing 13 seconds to Euskaltel's Haimar Zubeldia, however he still has 31 more up his sleeve to Zubeldia. Even Lance Armstrong deserted him towards the end, but he is forgiven, since he crossed the finishing line together with Alex Zülle. A part of the build up for a certain race next month. Armstrong has managed to keep Zülle, and other top riders, behind despite the fact that he is working for Hamilton here.
