stage 19

david arroyo gave caisse d'epargne its second stage win in a row, and as has been so often the case, a breakaway succeeded again in the 19th stage. arroyo outsprinted his final break companion, vasili kiryienka of team tinkoff, who had done most of the lead work the last five kilometres. nick nuyens of cofidis finished third as he led the peloton over the line 11 seconds later.

not a big change on the tipping front expect becstars slipped down the leaderboard after not putting in a tip for the stage. only a few sprint and mountain points eventuated from the stage so no real change there. again, no-one picked the stage winner.
