Naturino-Sapore Di Mare rider Murillo Fischer has won the first stage if the Uniqa-Classic from St. Pölten to Traismauer in a bunch sprint, making it the first Brazilian victory in the Austrian stage race ever. Werner Riebenbauer from the local Team Apo Sport Wiesbauer Linz got second, and Liquigas-Bianchi's Enrico Gasparotto placed third. In GC, Ondreij Sosenka finished in the bunch to keep his lead by three seconds over Fischer.

Early in the stage, Florian Stadler (Team Ed' Systems ZVVZ) and Michael Pichler (Resch & Frisch) jumped and succeeded to break away, leading by 30 seconds after 15 km. Ondreij Sosenka's team, Acqua & Sapone, decided to let them go, and as the pair passed the first GPM of the stage, the peloton was already eight minutes behind. Just before the top of the climb however, Stadler had dropped his break partner and continued on by himself - only to get caught by two chasers, Hans Peter Obwaller (Sava) and Przemyslav Niemec (Miche) with 70 km to go. These two then continued up front, as Stadler had no more strength left and was swallowed by the main bunch of about 40 riders soon after.

Obwaller and Niemec held their pace but couldn't put a significant distance between them and the chasing bunch. With 50 km to go, their lead was only 1.30, as the Italian teams Liquigas-Bianchi and Aqua & Sapone reacted. A few more attacks just before the stage finish in Traismauer by Uwe Hardter (Lamonta) and Martin Fischerlehner (Resch & Frisch) didn't make a difference: the sprinters got into position, the field driving hard. Finally, a fotofinish had to decide upon the winner, as Austrian Werner Riebenbauer was beaten only by a hair, with stage victory being attributed to Murillo.
