The 14th stage of the Tour de France 2008 on July 19 was 194.5 kilometers long and ran from Nîmes to Digne-les-Bains . There were two sprint classifications and two mountain classifications in the 4th category on the program.
At the beginning there were again numerous attacks, from which a 21-strong top group formed. The field did not let such a large group get away, the lead was a little over a minute at most. Stijn Devolder was able to secure the first sprint classification and initiated a new top group, which he himself did not belong to. This top group of four, consisting of Bram Tankink , José Iván Gutiérrez , Sandy Casar and William Bonnet , was able to pull away. The remaining 17 drivers fell back, and a group of seven followed. Before they merged with the field, other drivers tried to break away, but did not succeed. So all pursuers were caught again. The pace was very high in the first hour of 52.5 km / h. Now the group of four was able to break away from the front and achieved a maximum advantage of 6:38 minutes, which was then shortened again by the follow-up work of Liquigas . Gutiérrez was able to secure the first mountain classification and the second sprint classification. Another attack blew up the leading group. Bonnet was the first to fall back and was overtaken by the field, followed by Casar and Tankink. On the last mountain, Thomas Voeckler attacked first , followed by Damiano Cunego , while Gutiérrez was caught at the same time. Then several other drivers attacked. As a result, a group of drivers, including four-time stage winner Mark Cavendish , fell behind the peloton and had no chance of winning the stage. Roman Kreuziger finally won the mountain classification ahead of Bernhard Kohl and Andy Schleck . Sylvain Chavanel attacked, but was caught 2 km from the finish line. The goal in Digne-les-Bains was reached on a 780 meter long and 6.5 meter wide home straight. There, Óscar Freire finally decided the sprint ahead of Leonardo Duque and Erik Zabel and was able to extend his lead in the points classification. There were again no major changes to the ratings.
