And Robbie McEwen (Lotto-Adecco) takes his second stage win of the tour, in a bunch sprint. Fabio Sacchi should retain the leader's jersey.

"I'm happy to keep racing for stage wins," said McEwen after the stage. "It was an aggressive race in the beginning. There were two guys in front for most of the day. Saeco was doing all the work in the front."

"I just managed to hang in over the climb and then I felt good. I took advantage of the Telekom team riding at the front and came into the sprint."
