Summary:
Santiago Botero stormed away from a leading pack of eight riders on the final climb to win his first leg of the race. The 27-year-old Colombian won the tough stage two minutes 30 seconds clear of runner-up Paolo Savoldelli of Italy. It was the Kelme tam's second win of the Tour and the biggest in Botero's four-year professional career. Overall leader Lance Armstrong rode a controlled race, finishing in seventh place. As the riders anticipated the huge climbs, there were no attacks until past halfway.
