Stage Winner: Nicki Sorenson

Podium girls kiss the winners. You would think they were all French, but there is at least one non-French podium girl. Versus had a segment on one such podium girl, Laura Antoine, from St. Louis, MO. She described her daily routine, waking up at 6:00 am handing out Skoda merchandise, then the finale each day giving the various jersey winners their jerseys and completing the double-cheek kiss.

A few notable crashes today. One with Cadel Evans, another with Levi Leipheimer. Both were within 3km to the finish though so they won’t drop in the GC.
