Team Columbia HTC again dominated the day's racing, with Boasson Hagen winning the longest stage in this year's race, 183km. He also beat his previous record, a hat trick of wins in last year's event. As happened on previous stages, Columbia HTC controlled the race perfectly, only allowing breakaways they knew could be reeled in before the final sprint. "That was a strong group in front and it was hard to catch, but the team worked really, really hard," Boasson Hagen said after today's stage.
