On a wet day, Great Britain's Bradley Wiggins had led the way for much of the trial, but the Cofidis rider was eventually soundly beaten by Vinokourov, who clocked the best times at every intermediate checkpoint to win his first stage of the 2007 Tour with a time of 01:06:34.

Tour leader Michael Rasmussen rode hard to keep the yellow jersey and finished 11th to stay in control of the race, but had to draw on all his energy reserves and saw his advantage in the overall standings cut to one minute by Australian Cadel Evans.

It was a great day for the Astana team as Vinokourov was some one minute 14 seconds ahead of Evans in second, while team-mates Andreas Kloden and Andrey Kashechkin - another Kazakhstan rider - came third and fourth, the latter beating fifth-placed Wiggins by 30 seconds.
