Jon Izagirre grabbed a creditable fourth-place finish in today's fifth and final stage of the Tour de Poitou Charentes. The youngster tried his luck with a bold attack inside the last kilometre but was caught within sight of the line and in the end had to settle for fourth. Sky starlet Alex Dowsett finished solo six seconds ahead of the pack to take an impressive win. Along with Izagirre, Velasco, Fernández and Astarloza came home with the pack. Minguez struggled a bit on the demanding 171,4km stage and ceded 1:12, while Bilbao and Landa both ended up 1:35 in arrears. Final GC:
- 21, Astarloza
- 29, Izagirre
- 49, Fernández
- 61, Velasco
- 71, Minguez
- 72, Bilbao
- 82, Landa
