STAGE 6: 2008 TOUR DE FRANCE STAGE 6
June 9, 2008
Thursday 10 July
Stage 6:
Aigurande–Super Besse—195.5km
The first climbs of the Tour de France appear with the crossing of the Massif Central mountains. First it’s the Col de la Croix-Morand, an 8km, 5.1-percent ascent, then the mountaintop finish up the 11km, 4.7-percent climb to Super-Besse. This could be the first big battle between fast climbers like Franck Schleck, Valverde and Damiano Cunego for the win atop Super Besse.
