Just watched the 8th stage of Le Tour.

This was an exciting stage. I don't get to see much of bicycle racing as I don't have cable and internet without draconian data caps. I got to watch Wednesday's stage at a friends house which was a real treat, but today, just WOW! This was suppose to be a warmup for stage 9, but some riders had a different idea. Quickly the peloton broke into 2 with a 3+ minute gap.From that group another breakaway. Going up the Montée de la Combe de Laisia les Molunes one young rider overcame cramps in his right leg to maintain a gap of 36 seconds to win the stage. That's enough spoilers if you haven't watched it yet.
