Not only had the riders nine mountains to climb over a distance of 231 kms, they had to contend with changing weather conditions. Yesterday's rain was succeded by a cloudless sky over Trutnov and high temperatures. Nevertheless the tempo was high, around 55 kph, after the start at this queen stage of the Peace Race.

The first attacks came from Stephan Schreck at 12 kilometres, and he gained about half a minute until order is restored by the peloton. Schreck didn't even make it to the first mountain prime, as he probably tried to do. Strong Pole Wiojtas (Mroz), in the climber's jersey, takes the honours at 14 kms ahead of old Ampler (Bunte Berte) and Derganc (KRKA).

After the first climb a group of 16 riders is formed. Telekom, Mapei, Wüstenrot and Alessio have two riders each in the group, Wojtas was also along and so was Ampler. At the first sprint, after 29 kms, the gap was 1.45. 1. Faltus (Wüstenrot) passed first followed by Czech national Fadrny and Magnani (Alessio) but Faltus piad for his effort and was dropped first of all from the group even before the second climb started.

At the second mountain prime, 38 kms done, the gap was 2.50 and widening. Ampler first, ahead of Wojtas who is building a solid lead in the mountains competition. Other names in the front group: Zamana (MAT), Derganc (KRKA), Lunghi (Colpack), Kessler (Telekom), Schreck (Telekom) and Bilek (Wüstenrot). Faltus was able to rejoin on the way down and the gap was 3.40 at 50 kms. Mroz had started driving the peloton.

The third climb at 62 kms saw Faltus (!) pass first ahead of Wojtas and Kessler 2.50 ahead of the peloton still driven by Mroz, but on the way down the gap grew again to 3.40. Bilek took the fourth climb ahead of Ampler and Wojtas while poor Faltus had a puncture, but he managed to rejoin once again.

After the climb Wesemann was seen for the first time in the front of the chasing peloton. With him are yellow jersey Wadecki and overall second Przydial and also Andreas Klöden. A Telekom attack saw four of their riders at the front but the two overall leading Poles were hanging on. The peloton was split in two with all the top riders in the first group. Soon the break away group reduced to nine riders but some more came up from behind. Wadecki and Wesemann were watching each other in the peloton though.

At 151 kilometres, the sprint in Novy Bor, the front group of 16 riders, none from Mroz, had a gap of 2.45. Konecny (Wustenrot) takes the sprint ahead of Prusa (Cze) and Werner (Nürnberger). The following climb gave them some more distance to the peloton, 3.10, with Prusa passing first ahead of Konecny and Ampler still along.

The gap varied all the time in between the climbs. At the next mountain prime at 172 kms the gap was more than three and a half minutes. Lunghi was first, ahead of Ampler and Zamana while Werner was left behind.

Three riders in the front group, Huismans (Mapei), Bainatsew (Nürnberger) and Bertolini (Alessio) managed a gap on the way down and passed the sprint at 180 kms, Huismans in front, half a minute ahead of the rest of the breakaways. Shortly after Huismans had to let the other two go.

On the seventh mountain prime at 187 kms (Baibatsew first) the duo had 1.10 to a following octet. The front group is slowly falling apart. On the eighth prime that followed almost immediately, Bertolini got the honours. Ampler going strong in the front of the next group. On the last climb, 213 kms, the duo had 1.20 to the Ampler group, again with Baibatsew first. Nevertheless he is dropped by the Italian towards the end of the stage and won solo, 40 seconds ahead of the group that managed to catch Baibatsew. Wadecki came in at 2.51 in a bigger group, and he kept the yellow leader's jersey.
