Lelli wins after Rous crashes out
A fall with 30 km to go has cost Didier Rous (La Boulangere) the overall victory in the Tour du Limousin as well as marking the end of his season. Rous crashed while wearing the leader's jersey, which he had since stage 1. However he broke his collarbone in the crash and couldn't continue. That handed the overall win to Italian Massimiliano Lelli (Cofidis), who finished with a two second advantage over Laurent Lefevre (Jean Delatour), with Thor Hushovd (Credit Agricole) taking third.
The final stage was won by Austrian Bernhard Eisel (FDJeux.com), who was the strongest of his breakaway companions at the end of the 178 km stage. Eisel beat Julen Fernandez (Euskaltel) and Evgeni Petrov (iBanesto) for the honours.
