A 2nd hilly stage, can anyone jump away on that climb late on, and maintain a gap to the finish?


Nobody clear by the first intermediate sprint. Lo Cicero wins from Van Stayen and Vanderbiest


A 9 man breakaway then does go away - Eibegger, Farrar, Bazajev, Sestili, Hulsmans, Tschopp, Tennant, Suaza and Faiers. Farrar takes intermediate sprint #2, from Hulsmans and Bazajev


Tschopp shares the KoM lead with Santamborgio. The Italian got to wear the jersey today, but Tschopp will have it tomorrow, winning the KoM from Faiers

In the peloton, Menchov punctures. Menchov hasnt been trusted by Lafarge this season, he always seems forced to ride for Caruso. It was the case in the TDF, and it is the case here - so nobody waits for him.

Next sprint, Bazajev wins from Farrar and Tennant


Onto the big climb of the day, the break is caught. Caruso and Castano lead attacks


Efimkin and Pluchkin follow - then Sella and race leader Uran


Castano takes the points from Caruso and Sella - with Sella attacking past afterwards


But theyre all caught!


The finish is coming then, a big group all still together. But nobody cares!


Castano does though, and he wins from Boom, Sella and Pluchkin. That puts the Festina rider into the race lead aswell, thanks to the bonus seconds
