Tour de France Stage 8 Results: Luis Leon Sanchez Captures Stage while Rinaldo Nocentini Retains Yellow Jersey

Spain’s Luis Leon Sanchez managed to sprint his way to the line on Saturday and capture the eighth stage of the Tour de France while Italy’s Rinaldo Nocentini retained the yellow jersey as the race’s overall leader after finishing the stage in strong position.

Nocentini, participating in his first Tour de France, finished in the same pack as Alberto Contador and Lance Armstrong, the two closest riders to his lead. Contador currently sits six seconds behind Nocentini while the seven-time champion Armstrong is eight seconds back.

The Tour de France will enter Stage 9 on Sunday, the final day in the Pyrenees, as they tackle a 100-mile trek from Saint-Gaudens to Tarbes, a course that includes one of the most grueling climbs in cycling.
