The day's break formed at kilometer 29 and included José Vicente Garcia Acosta (Caisse d'Epargne), Laurent Mangel (AG2R), Enrico Franzoi (Lampre), Maarten Tjallingii (Skil-Shimano), Aleksandr Kuschynski (Liquigas), Evert Verbist (Chocolade Jacques) and David Boucher (Landbouwkrediet). Shortly after the Berendries climb Fabian Cancellara made a successful move to bridge up to the break and was followed by Gert Steegmans.

The break was caught on the run-in to the Muur van Geraardsbergen and on the Muur the decisive attack came from Alessandro Ballan, who was followed by Leif Hoste. Pre-race favourite Tom Boonen (Quick Step-Innergetic) could not respond to the attack, perhaps due to his fall earlier in the race that hurt his knees and wrist. Karsten Kroon and Tomas Vaitkus attempted to pursuit the two leaders but could not make it.

The lead duo worked together during the run-in to the finale. Ballan opened the sprint and was overtaken by Hoste, who looked to have won it, but Ballan managed to catch onto his wheel and pass him just before the line. Luca Paolini took 3rd, ahead of Kroon and Gusev. There was no Quick Step-Innergetic rider in the top ten.

Alberto Contador remains the ProTour leader after the race.
