July 9, 2004 – A crash-filled finale saw Tom Boonen (Quick.Step-Davitamon) take the win over yesterday’s winner Stu O’Grady (Cofidis) and T-Mobile’s Erik Zabel. Among the fallen was Lance Armstrong, but he will not lose any time as it was less than a kilometre to go. More results later, as well as Cor Vos shots.

Stage 6:

1. Tom Boonen (Bel) Quick.Step-Davitamon 4.33.41
2. Stuart O’Grady (Aus) Cofidis
3. Erik Zabel (Ger) T-Mobile
