German Chritoph Pfingsten (Ked-Bianchi) won this year's GP Gemenc last stage, a 92 kilometre journey from Paks to Szekszárd. After 60 km of flat roads, the peloton had to complete five laps of a a very hard, hilly finishing circuit. Pfingsten was part of the four man break formed on the second of the finishing laps. He attacked on the last lap and kept on riding to the finish alone.

The three chasers arrived some 25 seconds down on the winner, while the main bunch, inlcuding the general classification leader Sander Oostlander (Team Löwik Meubelen), arrived a further five seconds back. Blue jersey wearer, Oostlander lost some time, but not enough to loose the his GC lead.

Best Hungarian rider Péter Kusztor (P-Nívó- Betonexpressz) desperately tried to gain enough time on Oostlander to take victory, but failed and finished second overall.

At the end of the four day stage race, the best climber's polka dot jersey went to Hungarian Gábor Arany (P-Nívó- Betonexpressz), the best sprinter green jersey to german, Erik Mohs (Team Milram) and the best U23 jersey to Slovakian Ivan Viglinsky (Podbrezova).The overall team classification was won by Team Cornix as three of their riders finished in the top 10.
