The winner of the 2000 U23 European Championships, finished 6 seconds in front of stage 6 winner Baden Cooke (Mercury) and Inaki Isasi Flores (Euskaltel). "My team raced hard from the beginning with Hulsmans' and Bodrogi's escapes. 35 km before the finish, I started a sprint so that I was able to begin the last climb with a small advantage. 3 km before the finish line, the best riders in the final classification caught me, but I surprised them with a sharp sprint and I was able to win the race. I dedicate my victory to my team and to all my fans." Festina's Florent Brard maintained the leader's jersey, with one stage to go.
