The race: Early in the race a group of twenty-five riders broke away. The peloton chased hard, and at one point closed to within a half-minute, but the final distance could not be closed.

Of the original twenty-five escapees, only Barloworld's Giampaolo Cheula didn't make it to the end.

Come the sprint, World Champion Cadel Evans worked over the break with repeated attacks, setting things up for his teammate Philippe Gilbert to win his fourth race of the season.
