All for naught.

It's a few metres too far for Chavanel and Horner, and around the last corner Fred Rodriguez leads McEwen out and the Australian takes the stage with Staurt O'Grady coming up fast but not fast enough; he makes a gesture of protest about McEwen's line but there was nothing to complain about really. Not clear whether O'Grady or Rodriguez took second yet.
It was O'Grady in second spot, while green jersey Thor Hushovd could only get fifth; he keeps the jersey but with a diminished advantage. No change on general classification apart from the disappearance of the unfortunate Valverde in fifth, who also thus leaves the white jersey of Yaroslav Popovych.

Blame it on Hordog. Chavanel wasn't going to tow him to the finish line.Mtb_Rob_FL said:
