July 10, 2004 – After a long breakaway with Erik Dekker (Rabobank) and Thierry Marichal (Lotto-Domo) was caught, a final break got loose on the last climb. From that break, Italy’s Filippo Pozzato (Fassa Bortolo) outgunned Ike Flores (Euskaltel – Euskadi) and Francisco Mancebo Pérez (Illes Balears – Banesto) to the line. The G.C. remains the same. Cor Vos pics later.
