Leipheimer suveræn på enkeltstarten

Dagens etape var en 19,5 kilometer enkeltstart med start og mål i San Luis og uden de helt store udfordringer, så det lå lige til specialisterne.

Det viste sig også at blive tilfældet, da Leipheimer satte en klar bedste tid med 22 minutter og 33 sekunder, da han som den næstsidste rytter kom i mål. Inden ham var Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas-Cannondale) hurtigst med 22.56, mens Stefan Schumacher (Christina Watches-Onfone powered by Dana) røg ned på tredjepladsen med 23 minutter og 11 sekunder.

Kun Alberto Contador (Team Saxo Bank) manglede på det tidspunkt, men han kunne ikke køre sig helt i toppen og måtte nøjes med en sjetteplads, da han var omkring et minut efter Leipheimer.

Samlet fører Leipheimer nu løbet, og i det hele taget er det indtil videre gået forrygende for Omega Pharma-Quick Step, der har vundet tre ud af fire etaper og nu sidder solidt på løbets samlede førsteplads. Meget kan dog blive ændret i morgen, hvor der venter en bjergetape med afslutning op ad kategori 1-stigningen Mirador del Sol (6,6 km, 8,4%).
