Today was kind of a gloomy day.  It threatened rain all day and actually rained a little bit.  On top of the biggest climb of the day it was so foggy that you could see only about 1 car ahead.  This region, the Massif Central, is very hilly and lots of tight, windy roads.  There were some attacks today, including one by some of the stronger riders-Evans, Sastre, the Schlecks,  Vandevelde and several others.  Lampre was the main force that reeled them back in.  At 4 k from  the finish, Luis Sanchez from Caisse d’Epargne broke away and won the stage.  Kim Kirchen still has the yellow jersey.
