STAGE 5: 2008 TOUR DE FRANCE STAGE 5
June 9, 2008
Wednesday 9 July
Stage 5:
Cholet-Châteauroux—232km
At 232km, Stage 5 is the longest stage of the 95th edition of the Tour de France. Traversing rolling green farmland south of the Loire River, Stage 5 is the perfect ride for an early break to gain time on the sprinters’ teams and perhaps even stay away until the end. Will it be a beautiful moment for Thomas “T-Blanc” Voeckler to shine in Châteauroux? Or Credit Agricole’s Viking Thor Hushovd to take a sprint win?
