Stage eight (175 km) has developed in a similar way as some of the earlier stages. Four men escaped from the peloton but they did not manage to stay ahead. In the streets of Toulouse, there was a bunch sprint. Mark Cavendish of the UK won his second stage. Kim Kirchen kept the yellow jersey.
Like in stage 5, the game teams composed of sprinters did very well. Today's stage winner was Debbie Rowling from England with the excellent score of 97 points. The second place was shared by Jose Maria Olazabel Da Silva Smith Jr. (Swaziland) and Xiaojun Creemers (The Netherlands), also with a score over 90 points. No one has yet managed to stay on top of overall rankings for more than one day. Today is no exception: we have a new overall leader: Johan van Ommen of The Netherlands. The second place is shared by James D. (USA) and Omar Almaini (UK), the only consistent top-three-placed participant in the last three stages.
