Clearly, Alexey Lutsenko (Astana) had every reason to gripe at his break away companions, he had the legs to make the break succeed today. He accomplished a very rare feat today. He attacked at kilometer 0, and road off the front of the peloton all of the way to the finish. He made a 191 kilometer break away succeed, ending in a solo victory in Mont Argoual. The peloton was almost three minutes behind the Kazahk champion when they rolled across the line. Today also was a new point for this Tour, none of the leader's jersey changed hands.
