Zabriskie crashed on Tuesday and on Wednesday, it was his CSC team's leader
Ivan Basso who was caught in a pile-up 50 kms from the finish.
Third last year, Italy's Basso was able to make it back into the main pack.
The fall occurred while four riders, Spain's Juan Antonio Flecha, Italian
Salvatore Commesso, Hungary's Laszlo Bodrogi and Finland's Kjell Carlstrom were
in the lead.
The quartet took a maximum lead of more than five minutes over the rest of
the pack before being caught with 11 kilometres to go.
The stage was then set for the Boonen/McEwen show.
Thursday's sixth stage takes the riders to Nancy, near the German border,
over 199 kms of another flat stage tailor-made for sprinters.
