Txomin Guaristi (Euskaltel-Euskadi) took fourth with the same time as Guerin to jump up into second on the final general classification, 3:37 down on Soler. Guerin leapt up to third overall at 4:15 down, while previous podium sitters Hugo de la Calle (Burgos-Burpellet-BH) and Samuel Fernández (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) dropped down to fourth and fifth overall.
