Anyways, stage and final results:

3. Matthew Busche (Radioshack) +1.35
4. Martin Mortensen (Vacansoleil) +1.38
5. Matti Breschel (Saxo Bank) +1.39

Climbers Jersey:
Michael Reihs (Designa Køkken-Blue Water) 42 point
 
Nice ride from stagiere Alexander Wetterhall. 7th in the TT and 25th overall, finishing with the peloton on all stages except the queen stage where he still rode well. Probably well on his way to ride himself into a contract with Cervelo for next year.

The massively overrated Jakob Fuglsang strikes again. Congrats to the man.

I have no idea how you guys rate him.
He's obviously very hyped in Denmark. But of course in our country you don't really have to show very much before people start talking.

Fuglsangs is a quality rider, but I doubt he will ever win le tour.
