The 18th stage of the Tour de France 2008 on July 24th was 196.5 kilometers long and ran from Le Bourg-d'Oisans to Saint-Étienne . There were two sprint ratings as well as a third category mountain rating, a second category mountain rating and a fourth category mountain rating.
After two kilometers, a seven-person breakaway group formed, which included Marcus Burghardt , Sebastian Lang , Björn Schröder , Filippo Pozzato , Freddy Bichot , Stéphane Augé and Maxime Monfort . However , she did not leave the field led by the CSC-Saxo Bank team again . Bichot, Schröder and Augé reached the first sprint ranking before the field, while the others had already been overtaken before that. After 48.5 km these were also caught by the field, which was now led by Liquigas . The 54.5 km / h that the riders achieved in the first hour was a new record for this tour. Damiano Cunego , who had crashed, was following the field. After several more unsuccessful breakaway attempts, Carlos Barredo was able to pull away in the first mountain classification, pursued by Burghardt and Romain Feillu . Barredo won this mountain classification ahead of his two pursuers. In the descent, Burghardt reached Barredo, while Feillu was overtaken by the next two pursuers Christophe Le Mével and Mikel Astarloza . The two leaders were able to pull out more than 10 minutes ahead of the field at times. Barredo and Burghardt also reached the second mountain classification first, over four minutes ahead of their three pursuers and ten minutes ahead of the field. Burghardt secured the second sprint classification. Barredo, who attacked in the meantime, also won the last mountain classification. Meanwhile, there were further attacks in the main field in which Samuel Dumoulin , Cyril Dessel , Roman Kreuziger , Leif Hoste and Andy Schleck were able to pull themselves away . After several more attacks and counter-attacks by the leading duo, Burghart was the first to cross the finish line in Saint-Étienne, which was reached on a 290-meter-long and 8-meter-wide home straight. Feillu was third. Dumoulin won the sprint of the small breakaway group in front of the field, whose sprint in turn won Óscar Freire . However, this did not result in any changes to the ratings.
