They’ll need a rest after this

Yesterday's trip through the mountain of the Pyrenees caused little upset to the main contenders who were happy to roll along in the peleton. However, it was a good win for Spain's Luis Leon Sanchez who timed his sprint just right to beat Sandy Cesar at the line.

Of the British riders, Bradley Wiggins looked good again but sadly Mark Cavendish lost the green jersey to the Norwegian Tor Hushovd.

Today there are two major climbs; the Col dAspin followed by the Col du Tourmalet. These should test the legs of the contenders a bit more and maybe give us a clue as to who might be the eventual winner.
