STAGE 9: 2008 TOUR DE FRANCE STAGE 9
June 9, 2008

Sunday 13 July
Stage 9: Toulouse–Bagnères-de-Bigorre—224km
The first mountain stage at the Tour de France is usually crucial to see who has the legs to win and who doesn’t. With three Pyrenees mountain passes, Col des Ares (6km at 4.9 percent), the steep Col de Peyresourdre (13.2km at 7.1 percent) and the Col d’Aspin (12.1km at 6.6 percent), finishing with a tough, technical 24km final descent to Bagnères-de-Bigorre, Stag 9 will set the stage for the rest of the Tour de France. Cadel Evans must be there if he wants to win in Paris, along with contenders like Denis Menchov, the Schelck Brothers, Carlos Sastre and Damino Cunego.
