Klockan 17.02 körde Marc Coma över mållinjen först av alla på dagens etapp. Däremot var det Chilenaren Francisco Lopez som var snabbast av dem alla (42 sekunder snabbare än Coma), med sin Aprilia. KTM-föraren Cyril Despres körde i mål på en femte plats och leder nu totalt med 1 timme och 20 minuter över tvåan Pål Anders Ullevålseter från Team Scandinavia. Pål Anders kom trea idag, efter att ha noterats för dagens snabbaste tider vid flertalet tidskontroller. Thomas Berglund (Team Scandinavia) fortsätter att köra mycket starkt. I dag körde han i mål närmare 27 minuter efter etappsegraren vilket resulterade i en 12:e plats på etappen och 9:e plats i sammandraget. Annie Seel körde fast i ett hål och fick bärgas upp ur detta med hjälp av en helikopter. Sent omsider körde hon i mål på en 86:e plats och återfinns nu på plats 50 i sammandraget.
