June 11, 2009 (Mont-M̩gantic, QC) РIt proved to be a long wait today before the mythical climbing of Mont M̩gantic. The first part of this 155-km stage was full of attempted breakaways, but the peloton decided to not let any groups leave. However, after the second KoM, at the 150th km, 20 or so riders finally received the blessing, and broke away. In this group, three men were feared: the three Colombians, favoured for this stage.

As the mountain began to be seen, the breakaway began to lose its weaker members, plus Smukulis (Lativa) victim of a fall. At the place marking the beginning of the ascent, Sergio Luis Henao (Colombian National Team) attacked first. Quickly, he was caught by his teammate Darwin Atapuma. They made the climb together, combining their efforts to increase their lead.

In the end, it was Darwin Atapuma who finished first, followed by Henao, who took the yellow jersey, but also the red one. Atapuma took the polka-dot too, as the best climber while Danilo Wyss kept the white jersey as points leader.
