22 year-old Niki Terpstra (Ubbink) took his finest win so far when he soloed in to Huy after 203 challenging kilometres. He was part of a 23 man breakaway that took off after 30 kilometres with its eyes on the stage win, while the battle for the jersey took place in the peloton. Maarten Tjallingii defended his leader's jersey in yet another stage, and managed to put in even more time between himself and second place.

Terpstra, who is a track rider and describes himself as an all-rounder commented after his win, "At the end, everyone was in pieces and I knew that the big guys would watch each other. So I knew that I had to get away, and that worked. I was good last year in the Ardennes stage.

"I hope that with this performance I can move up to a ProTour team. Maybe next year," he added.

Tjallingii could sense the overall victory, with the race's toughest stage behind him now. "It would be very nice [to win]. It's getting closer. I can't believe it.

"My team rode fantastically. After every climb they came back. I felt strong. When Nys attacked on the Mur, I saw that Boonen was in trouble and I took the wheel of Nys. Even later I knew that I had to take the initiative myself, when Rosseler went. I was the only one fresh enough.

"Tomorrow, our team is strong enough to control the stage. There should be more teams that want to win, and that's good. I think it will go well tomorrow.

How it unfolded

After only fifteen kilometres of racing, a big group of riders left the peloton behind. Kevin Van Impe and Nick Nuyens (Quickstep), Björn Leukemans (Davitamon-Lotto), Jurgen Van Den Broeck and Fumiyuki Beppu (Discovery Channel), Laurens Ten Dam (Unibet.com), Andrea Pagato (Panaria), Maarten Wijnants (Chocolate Jacques), Nico Sijmens and Johan Verstrepen (Landbouwkrediet), Igor Abakoumov and Jarno Van Mingeroet (Jartazi), Niki Terpstra (Ubbink), Steven De Neef (Bodysol), David McPartland and Marlon Perez Arango (Tenax), William Walker and Richard Groenendaal (Rabobank), Elio Aggiano, Samuele Marzoli and Yuri Metlushenko (LPR), Benjamin Gourgue (Bergasol) and Ward Bogaert (Yawadoo) were the riders who had their eyes set on the finish in Huy.

They were allowed a gap by the peloton, since the best placed rider in the break was Jurgen Van Den Broeck at 14'11 on the GC. As the front riders hit the foot of Mont Falise with 85 kilometres to go, they had gained a maximum gap of 6'35. Jarno Van Mingeroet was the first rider over the top, and took points in the one-day mountains competition, ahead of Perez Arango who was eager to collect points in yet another competition.

Up the Chaussée de Tongres, Leukemans and Van Den Broeck turned up the speed, and half the front group had to let go. Van Impe, Nuyens, Terpstra, Ten Dam, Walker and Perez Arango were among those able to follow. The gap to the peloton was now down to five minutes, but it started to become clear that the peloton would not seriously chase the front riders.

As the peloton approached Chaussée de Tongres, Sebastien Rosseler punctured just as Davitamon-Lotto with Steegmans on their wheel went to the front. They split up the field and a front group with Tjallingii and Boonen in formed. Boonen was the only Quickstep rider in that group, and that was probably one of the reasons that the break didn't survive long. Chocolate Jacques were chasing hard with Eeckhout in the wake, and the peloton regrouped.

Over the following kilometres, Skil-Shimano went back to controlling the peloton, and more and more riders in the break fought their way back to the group led by Van Den Broeck. With 45 kilometres to go, Servais Knaven attacked the Skil-driven peloton, and was initially followed by Aart Vierhouten (Skil-Shimano), but he was called back to the team. Nico Mattan then bridged up to Servais Knaven, and they gained a maximum gap of 50 seconds before they were brought back with 22 kilometres to go.

Meanwhile, numerous riders attacked from the front group, and it was Elio Aggiano (LPR) who managed to get the first big gap. He was joined by Laurens Ten Dam (Unibet.com) and the two of them entered the Mur de Huy first of all. Van den Broeck, Perez Arango, Nuyens and Leukemans reached them halfway up, and Ten Dam managed to follow while Aggiano was dropped.

In the peloton, (Steven de Jongh Quickstep) had made several hard attacks, and was being released by Rosseler who jumped away on a steep section of the Mur. Unfortunately, Rosseler and Boonen suffered smaller chain problems at the same time, and the attack was unsuccessful. Rabobank's Sven Nys countered and got away, and behind him trailed Max Van Heeswijk (Discovery Channel), Sebastien Rosseler, Maarten Tjallingii and Mikhaylo Khalilov (LPR). Those four riders were able to join Nys, and left the Boonen's group behind.

At the front, William Walker, Niki Terpstra, Nico Sijmens and Kevin Van Impe bridged back to the five front riders. With 12 kilometres to go, Niki Terpstra launched a powerful attack, and gained useful seconds as the big names failed to collaborate behind him. Over the final stretch, Nico Sijmens jumped away and came close to Terpstra, but not closer than to allow Terpstra to properly sit up and straighten his jersey.

Race leader Maarten Tjallingii rode in with or ahead of the main GC contenders, and remains the race leader, 26 seconds ahead of Rosseler, and 55 seconds ahead of Max Van Heeswijk who rode a strong race.
