Tour de France, stage 8

Philippe Gilbert (SNO) took second place on today's stage which finished at the top of a third category climb. Samuel Sanchez was fourth for Lisa.

For Steve, Thor Hushovd did well to stay with the leading group and so retain the overall leader's yellow jersey for yet another day. Andy Schleck (SNO) moved up one place to sixth overall and Gilbert improved two places to tenth but David Millar dropped five places to ninth overall for Steve.

Gilbert did enough today to regain the green jersey with Mark Cavendish (SNO) third in the points competition and Hushovd fourth. Gilbert drops to sixth in the mountains classification.
