2008 Tour de France
July 5 - July 27, 2008
Pictures from Fotoreporter Sirotti from Stage 4, Tuesday, July 8: Cholet 29.5 km individual time trial
Fabian Cancellara couldn't seal the deal today, coming in 33 seconds behind Schumacher. But damn, that white and rainbow bike and kit look good. | |||
Another quiet day at the office for Cadel Evans. He's done everything perfectly and is now the most highly placed of the real Tour contenders with over a minute lead on Valverde, Cunego and Andy Schleck and almost a minute on Menchov. | |||
A single glorious day in yellow for Romain Feillu. After flogging yesterday's break for over 200 kilometers with every watt he had, he couldn't be expected to deliver a good time trial. He's now 3 minutes back in GC. | |||
Mr. Schumacher certainly surprised everyone with a superb ride that catapulted him into the General Classifiction lead. His team is looking for a new sponsor for 2009 since Gerolsteiner is not going to re-up. Having the Yellow Jersey can't hurt the search. | |||
