Stage 16 (157 km) contained two out-of-category climbs. Several small groups escaped from the main pack. However, the elite part of the peloton caught most of them in the final climb. Two groups of about ten men arrived at the top. The contenders for the yellow jersey did not manage to catch the first group. Cyril Dessel of France won the stage. Frank Schleck kept the yellow jersey.
With a big escape group finishing ahead of the rest, this was a difficult top ten to predict. Only about half of the game participants managed to collect some points. The stage was won by David Morgan (USA). Fellow countrymen Jim Scales and Joseph Hiegel claimed second place. Bryan Stout (New Zealand) remains the overall leader. Tom Denters of The Netherlands is the only of the top three to take points today. He moves up to place two in the overall rankings while UK's Omar Almaini drops to third.
Today French sprinter Sebastien Chavanel abandoned the race. He was a member of 148 game participant teams.
