AON's Khalmuratov went off on a solo attack that took the first 2 KoM sprints, before he was joined by 4 others: Van Katwijk, Flickinger, Powers and Sawada
Khalmuratov took the 3rd KoM aswell, while after that climb Appleby, Glomser and Ruijgh tried to attack from the peleton that lasted from 68 to 52km to go.
Skipping forward to 20km to go. Flickinger has won the sprint, the final hill peaks in 10km, and the pack are just 1 minute 30 behind
Leipheimer kicks off activities from the pack, going before the hill starts
As Leipheimer catches the break, Trofimov attacks
Calzati and Efimkin counter him first, as he moves into the lead
Sambris, Froome and Seeldraeyers are now coming across
Trofimov crosses first, Calzati is back in 2nd
Efimkin and Froome are next ahead of Leipheimer, Sambris, Seeldrayers, Astarloza, Stetina, Tankink and Tschopp
Down the descent into the final 5km, Trofimov still leads
30 seconds later its Calzati
A further 30 seconds and it is Froome, Leipheimer, Sambris, Seeldraeyers, Astarloza and Efimkin - who are just over a minute ahead of the peleton - all other attackers could not get away over the top
Coming close to the line, Trofimov's lead is only extending
And he wins the stage!
Calzati is still looking good for 2nd but the 6 chasers are closing, Sambris leading the charge now after Froome lead out
2nd for Calzati, 47 seconds behind Trofimov
Sambris 3rd, Seeldraeyers 4th - and they are to be awarded the same time as Calzati
The peleton meanwhile is led in by a Canadian: Charles Dionne. They are over 2 minutes behind Trofimov
