Antoine Duchesnay (NDM) won the next stage, the third this Tour, consolidating his lead at the Points classification. Ostlander Johannes Rapp (Scholden-Gulcron) and Lomarran Cesar Spinoza (Vançotte) were second and third, respectively.
Stage 10 | Flat stage - 167 km
After the first rest day, the peloton had another clam day, which was decided in mass sprint again. This time, Christophe Villiers (Anzcell) avoid Duchesnay's fourth individual stage win, in a clear sprint. Florinthian Quentin Symonds (Dido-GDC) was third. Roman Herzogenrath continued leading the general classification without problems.
Stage 11 | Mountain stage - 210 km
High mountain arrived on the eleventh stage. Vienlander Siegfried Jundt (AHN-Bank of Florinthus) surprised with a far away attack and win the stage without opposition.
A minutre later, a group of eight riders arrived, which included Manuel Aidas (Nenergo), 1596 Tour de Valland winner Zeljo Bratansek (Mordvelo), Lomarran Tomasso Zavala (Velomax) or Claude Bécaud (Vançotte), who became the new leader of the Youth classification.
Jundt also took the red jersey, leading now the general classification with five seconds ahead of Goldecian Spencer Grant (Ogo-Abbott), twenty-one seconds of Ceribian Irakli Maisuradze (Magram), while Roman Herzogenrath (Télecon) fell to the fourth place, forty-four seconds behind the Vienlander climber.
Stage 12 | Individual time trial - 27 km
Jundt, however, had not probably many hopes to keep the red jersey after the following stage, a 27-km individual time-trial (ITT). It was the only and last ITT this Tour, and although it was not very long, it was rather technical. The stage was won by Kyrzbekistani Alim Timerur (KyrzAir).
Ceribian Irakli Maisuradze (Magram) took the red jersey, with another two Ceribians in the provisional podium: Pharnavaz Undiladze (Bagdati), who was now second at twenty-one seconds after an impressive time-trial -finishing 7th in the stage- and his teammate Malkhaz Lomidze, who climbed at the third place at twenty-one seconds. Saratovian Péťa Vacek (Soyuz-Kuprin) retook the Youth classification jersey, as he climbed to the fourth place in the general classification at forty seconds.
Roman Herzogenrath (Télecon) went down to the sixth place, although only fifty seconds with still five more high mountain stages to come, while Jundt fell from the first place directly to the eighth place. He was one minute behind Maisuradze now.
