The stage from ~~Saint-Junien~~ Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche to Aurillac, disturbed by the snow, was won by the young Slovakian rider (he's only 20 years old) Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Doimo). Lars Boom, who finished 27 secondes loses his yellow jersey to the oldest rider of the race, the German rider Jens Voigt of Team Saxo Bank.
A summary of the stage Saint-Junien > Aurillac

The riders again had to face very low temperatures today, but Lars Boom (Rabobank), used to the cold at the cyclo-cross, is still leading the general classification. The breakaway group didn't stay ahead until the finish and only a fall in Limoges changed the casting for the final sprint which was won by William Bonnet (Bbox Bouygues Telecom).
