The winning break. Franco Pellizotti leads Pierrick Fedrigo. | |||
Rinaldo Nocentini gets to keep his Yellow Jersey over the rest day. The Astana rider behind him with the black sox is Armstrong. | |||
Armstrong (black sox) is showing none of the discomfort on the climbs he displayed in the Giro. He said he could have gone with Contador in stage 7 but team discipline kept him back in the chase group. | |||
It's a shame we don't get to see the advertising caravan on TV. | |||
This was the Tour's last day in the Pyrenees. | |||
Pierrick and Pellizotti didn't screw around when they got close to the finish and let the pack catch them. They worked together until the end. Here Fedrigo just beats Pellizotti. | |||
And here Oscar Freire wins the field sprint. | |||
