Uran henter ProTour-sejr til Unibet

nullEtapen blev ellers præget af et udbrud, hvor Team CSCs Carlos Sastre sad med. Udover Sastre var Michael Albasini (Liquigas), Matthew White (Discovery Channel), Gianni Meersman (Discovery Channel), Jurgen van Goolen (Discovery Channel), Daniel Navarro (Astana), Fred Rodriguez (Predictor-Lotto), Alessandro Ballan (Lampre-Fondital), Yannick Talabardon (Crédit Agricole), Enrico Poitschke (Milram) og Florian Stalder (Volksbank). Udbruddet fik dog ikke lang snor af feltet, da Caisse d'Espargne ikke ville give sin føring væk i holdkonkurrencen.

Med 25 kilometer til mål angreb Carlos Sastre sammen med Alessandro Ballan og sidenhen fortsatte Sastre alene, men med 8 kilometer til mål måtte CSC-rytteren se sig hentet.

Opad den sidst stigning var der flere angreb, men stigningen var ikke hård nok til den helt store udskilling, men alligevel lykkedes det Rigoberto Urán at hente en fornem sejr, da han angreb med 500 meter til mål. Efter etapen var der stor glæde i Unibet.com lejren efter holdets ProTour sejr.

Vladimir Efimkin (Caisse d'Espargne) forsvarede førertrøjen i Tour de Suisse, som i morgen afsluttes med en 33,7 kilometer lang enkeltstart i Bern.
