Stage 18: Bourg d’Oisans – St Etienne

 

Today was a tough day to shoot the race in a car.  The route from Bourg d’Oisans was a two lane road with no room to pass.  I’m exhausted so I just drove to the finish. 

 

The peloton mostly stayed together except for a break with Astarloza, Burghardt and Barredo.  Burghardt and Borredo duked it out the last kilometer with Burghardt winning the stage.

 

Tomorrow is another sprinters’ day and then the time trial on Saturday which will probably determine the race.
