After riding in a breakaway group for most of the day, Giuseppe Guerini attacked with more than 1km to go and won the stage. After winning the stage, Guerini told the press, "The last road in was very straight - I jumped away and got a good gap. They didn't chase me immediately, so I knew I could win it and I am delighted that I did." Not suprisingly, he made no comment about the hairiness of his forearms.

Talking about tomorrow's final time trial, Lance said, "Big day tomorrow - I'll give it everything I have. It's difficult to really enjoy yourself too much because it's the Tour de France; every day, there's attacks going up the road. No-one's throwing their retirement party just yet."
