Tour de France 2008 Video of Stage 1

The first stage of the Tour de France

An excellent move by Alejandra Valverde, who has to be one of the main favourites for the overall title, raced to the first stage win of the Tour. He timed his move to perfection and had the power to make it work.

I don’t know why the Tour de France don’t have more uphill finishes like this, it makes for an exciting race.

    I was also surprised to see the uphill finish, and it was quite good to see some of the favoured riders at the front (Go Cadel).

    I guess they normally make them flat to keep the sprinters happy!
