Tour de France - Stage 8
Great racing last nice with another long stage of over 100 miles, with lots of nasty hills ... and some more unfortunate accidents.
Was shocking to see Sanchez (defending Olympic gold medalist) crash out with a broken collar bone, so he is out for London 2012.
What we did see though was a memorable win for a young French rider in his first tour. It was one of these rare occasions where the risk of hopping onto the breakaway group actually pays off.
A memorable win for Thibaut Pinot - the youngest rider in the race !
What better way to capture that in miniature, than finish off a unit of French Ligne using some of the youngest (newest) figures available ... Eureka's own amazing late French in Bardin uniform in 18mm.
