He also took over first place in the points classification. After a short solo breakaway effort by David Zabriskie, Frenchmen Cristophe Laurent and Stéphane Augé launched a long attack at the 60-km point but were caught by the chasing peloton only 2 km before the finish line. Augé was awarded the first red polka dotted jersey in the mountains classification. CyclistTeamTime1Tom Boonen BELQST 20064h 56' 01"2Allan Davis AUSONC 2006as.t.3Francisco Ventoso ESPGEO 2006s.t.
