Certainly Simon Spilak's (Katusha) victory was a solo win, having gotten away on the final climb of the day, but he hardly crossed the line alone. The Slovenia was accompanied to the line in La Mure by the race referee's red car, the yellow motorcycle of the time keeper, the race communication moto and one of the TV motos as he raised his arms in a jubilant victory celebration. This is the second victory in a row for Katusha and this time the Director Sportif made sure his man zipped up his jersey before claiming the stage for the team.
