Kurt-Asle Arvesen of Norway beat Swiss Martin Elmiger and Alessandro Ballan of Italy to the finish line of the 11th stage, held over 167.5km, to hand his ambitious CSC team their first win of this year's edition. And doping raises its ugly head again, as Spaniard Moises Duenas was kicked off the race by his team following the news of a positive test for the banned blood booster EPO (erythropoietin). Duenas is currently in police custody.
