Saunier Duval rider Ricardo Ricco won his second stage in the 2008 Tour de France, beating the peloton over the first big mountain climbs.
Ricco waited until the final 30 kilometers to attack, after all the other contenders were exhausted form their own attempts. No one could catch him, and he sailed to the finish 1:17 ahead of the peloton.
Kim Kirchner kept the yellow jersey, but Team Columbia dropped from second to sixth in the team standings.
