    That was a great win by Luis Leon Sanchez! Today's stage was active early and certainly a great stage!

    Tomorrow we could see something similar, with terrain being up and down until the peloton hits Toulouse.

    Thanks for joining us today and see you back tomorrow!

    Vande Velde finished ninth in the hectic finale. Andy Schleck in tenth.

    The top four remain the same in the GC, but some riders have lost time.

  • 17:15 CEST   

    It was Pozzato in third.

  • 17:13 CEST   

    Hushovd leads in a group 33 secs later.

  • 17:13 CEST   

    The group sprints home for second. Schumacher takes the sprint. A Liquigas in third, probably Kreuziger. Then Valverde and Kirchen.

  • 17:12 CEST   

    And Sanchez makes it!!!! He rolls across the line with his arms raised, the head tilted slightly backwards, enjoying the moment.

  • 17:11 CEST   

    He fights against the wind.

  • 17:11 CEST   

    Sanchez turns around. Will it be enough???

  • 17:10 CEST   

    He garbs the bar over the brake levers. The chasers can see him, he is maybe 100m behind

  • 17:10 CEST   

    It may be enough, he still has a good gap.
