After only 14km a group of 12 riders break away from the main peloton.  They stay away for the rest of the stage, a distance of 184km  Lance Armstrong and Laurent Jalabert can do little to breach the gap. It would prove to be the Frenchman's final day in yellow  Salvatore Commesso and Marc Wouters drive the breakaway on.  Alberto Elli maintains the pace in the leading pack flanked by Leon van Bon and Jacky Durand.  Van Bon, the Dutch national champion, crosses the line in first place.
