This was the second of three days in the Pyrenees. | |||
Again, Astana spent most of the day at the front, riding tempo. Armstrong is sitting third here. | |||
Early on Cadel Evans took a shot at getting away, but ended up in the peloton. | |||
Luis Leon Sanchez timed his sprint perfectly, soundly beating his other breakaway companions. | |||
Caisse d'Epargne also won the field sprint. Here Jose Joaquin Rojas makes it look easy. | |||
