Wiggins in yellow at stage 8

Today a Frenchman, all of 22years, the youngest to be riding the tour this year, proved that with the right mix of bravado and gumption, matched with talent and the right backing, could bring dreams to reality. Thibaut Pinot, of FDJ-BigMat did this exactly, on the 8th stage of this year’s tour, with a brilliant ride, first as part of the breakaway and then as a soloist, as he rode away from the chasing riders.
