The 2007 Tour du Limousin takes place over 4 stages from 21 - 24 August, beginning and ending in the city of Limoges.

The second stage of the Tour du Limousin took place under heavy skies and torrential rain which played havoc with the field with 12 riders failing to finish and another 20 or so losing over 13 minutes on the winner. The stage was a 187.4km slog from Droux to Uzerche.

That winner was Frenchman Pierre Rolland (Crédit Agricole) who went away in an early break of 22 riders that was chased down by the peloton. But once things were back together, Rolland along with Guillaume Levarlet (Auber) and Sébastien Duret (Bretagne-Armor Lux)  attacked again and this time the effort bore fruit.

It was on the Côte de Vigeois with 19km to go that Rolland made the final decisive move and rode away from his companions to take the stage win by 36". Levarlet battled on for second place while a dog-fight took place between Pierrick Fedrigo  (Bouygues Telecom), Oscar Pereiro (Caisse D'Epargne) and Clément Lhotellerie (Skil - Shimano) for 3rd place. Fedrigo managed to prevail, picking up a 4 second time bonus and propelling himself into the GC lead by 6 seconds from Pereiro.
