After his previous victory in Olsztyn, Italian Daniele Bennati (Lampre) won another TdP stage, this time in the streets of Leszno. Just like two days ago, Bennati led home the peloton in front of two compatriots, with race leader Luca Paolini (Quick Step) coming second for the fourth day in a row and retaining lead in the race. Third place went to Angelo Furlan (Domina Vacanze).

"This win is great, it was important, and I want to thank my team mates because they did a great job for me today," said Bennati after the stage.

How it unfolded

The peloton started from Inowroclaw with 152 riders still in the race at 10.42, nearly an hour earlier than was previously planned. This decision was made because of the slow tempo in the previous stages, which led to some problems with TV coverage of the race. Shortly after the start of the stage at km 9, two riders: Italian Marco Serpellini (Gerolsteiner) and Basque Iker Flores (Euskaltel), extracted themselves from peloton. From this duo, Serpellini was the better ranked in 122nd position with a 3'08 deficit to race leader Luca Paolini (Quick Step). Serpellini and Flores quickly gained a substantial lead, while from the still sleepy peloton, another rider attacked, namely Hungarian Laszlo Bodrogi (Credit Agricole), who this morning was ranked 51st with just 0'18 deficit. At km 64, the leading pair had 8'40 on Bodrogi and 13'20 on the main bunch.

Because of the strong westerly wind, the peloton was divided into three groups before the first intermediate sprint in Wrzesnia (at km 82), where Serpellini crossed the line first ahead of Flores, and Brazilian Luciano Pagliarini (Liquigas) fastest from the first part of the peloton after Bodrogi was caught. German Robert Forster (Gerolsteiner), the leader of this competition, was left behind in the second of three groups. At km 95, the two front parts of the peloton were linked and their gap to the leading Serpellini and Flores was only 2'30. At the feed zone between km 100 and 103, three riders retired from the race: Frenchmen Cedric Hervé (Credit Agricole) and Jerome Pineau (Bouygues Telecom), and Belgian Serge Baguet (Davitamon). At the second intermediate sprint in Sroda Wielkopolska (at km 109), again Serpellini was first ahead of Flores, while behind the leader, things where getting back to normal with Forster taking third place.

After the feed zone, there was another period of calm in the peloton with Serpellini and Flores taking advantage of this fact. At km 112, the Italian/Basque combination had 5'30 on the bunch, and this lead grew even bigger to 10'40 at km 133 in Srem, where the third intermediate sprint was situated with the same results as on the previous one: Serpellini, Flores, Forster. Meanwhile, it was announced that this stage would also be shortened, although this time by just one finishing lap of 7.3 kilometres. The peloton with the Quick.Step riders in the lead finally began to chase behind the leading duo, and it was already visible at the next time checks with the gap coming down very quickly to 4'50 at km 164. Soon Flores, and then Serpellini were caught even before they reached the first of the finishing laps in Leszno. The peloton was paced by Quick Step and Intel-Action, working respectively for race leader Luca Paolini and the only Polish sprinter on the TdP start list, Jaroslaw Zarebski.

Unlike the other days, the were no real attempts to breakaway from the peloton, which was riding at 60 km/h. On the last of the three laps, Lampre riders mixed it up with the Quick Step and Intel-Action boys with experienced Italian Gianluca Bortolami taking particularly long turns at the front of the bunch. Tall Ukrainian Bogdan Bondariew (Intel-Action) desperately tried to lead out Zarebski, but Intel’s sprinter first lost the wheel of his domestique and then had to be left alone with few hundred metres to go after Bondariew gave one last big turn which started at the 1 km sign. Paolini looked to be sitting in the best (second) position just before final dash to the line, but just as in Olsztyn, Bennati proved to be faster of the two, taking a comfortable win, his fifth in a ProTour race in the last month.
