Out of the French Alps and headed to the Pyrenees, today's stage was relatively flat and one for the sprinters. In the end, Robbie "Hey Don't Blame Me!" McEwen took the stage and maximum finishing points in the green jersey competition. Stuart O'Grady took 2nd, and Thor Hushovd managed 5th. No change in GC, except 5th place rider Alejandro Valverde abaonded today due to a knee injury. That's bad news for him, he can't be happy about that, but there isn't much he can do with a bad injury. |
