Stage 8 Bischofszell – Arosa 148.2 km
Етапна победа за Швейцария в едноименната обиколка. 18 км. соло каране на Михаел Албасини (Грийнедж) беше грандиозния завършек, който започна 60 км. преди финала като стандартна група от бегълци (със 6 минутна преднина), включваща Томас Декер (Гармин-Баракуда), Петър Велитц (Омега Фарма), и Реми Кузин (Тийм Тайп 1) . На 29-ия км. само Петър Велитц, съумя да отговори на атаката на швейцареца, а 11 км. по-късно и той беше изръсен.
55-те секунди изоставане на Робърт Гесинк изпратиха момчетата на Рабобанк в челото на пелотона, докато лидера Руй Коща правеше всичко възможно да се върне в групата след спукана гума, и в резултат на това холандеца сега е четвърти на 25 секунди.
Атакувайки 4 км. преди финала, прудружен от Микел Ниебе и Ливай Лайфаймър, Франк Шлек нанесе още един удар на жълтата фланелка, стопявайки му преднината от минута на 14 секунди, а американецът и испанецът се изкачиха съответно на трето и пето място с по 21 и 40 секунди.
