FTDF Stage 8 - Pinot Next Hinault

Hello, just a quick one today. It's late, I'm tired, I have work tomorrow and I'm out of puns. 

So things started out fast today, as the world and his dog fancied their chances in the break. Eventually a break stuck for more thn a few km, and among them was Thibault Pinot, who is the youngest fella in the race, but that didn't stop him winning the stage.

There was a quality group just behind him, with most of the GC hopefuls doing their best to catch him. Except SamuelSanchez that is, who became yet another crash victim and had to abandon. Poor Sammy.

Bradders held onto the yellow jersey, but Froomers lost the polka dots to breakaway grafter Fredrik Kessiakoff.

Still the Nadgers at the top of the league, but I don't think their run can last forever.

Time trial time tomorrow. If the team Sky plan still on course, then Wiggins should take at least a minute out of  everyone except Cancellara. I reckon Frank Schleck could lose about 5 minutes.
