A flat stage, but the terrain near the finish doesnt a few of the possible contenders today
Schreck, Pineau and Brandt were the break
They were caught there, largely by Warner Brothers
But a huge tactical mistake could cost Boonen today. With 4km to go he is on Tom Veelers wheel but a long way back! The dutchmen has slipped backwards from the front over the couple of short climbs near the finish - the likes of Ciolek and Cavendish are also further back.
Where is Pozzato? Right at the front!
Pozzato quickly gets a huge gap so stops sprinting, Boonen is leading the charge behind though
The gap is pretty big!
But Boonen is coming!
Eventually Pozzato starts to sprint again but Boonen is still closing fast. Just not fast enough, crucial victory for Pozzato
Grillo takes 3rd, with Cavendish down in 22nd and out of jersey contention. Could Boonen be too? He trails by 17 points with only the Champs Elysses left to make it up.
