Even though the peloton is letting some riders jump clear, the yellow jersey isn't in real jeopardy.
With two leaders - Burghardt and Barredo leading, there is a threesome nearly four minutes behind and the peloton is about 11 minutes back.
Sadly, Cunego is ANOTHER ten minutes behind the peloton. But his teammates are helping pull him back into the pack. We'll see if that works.
Oh, all this is happening 108KM into a stage that's nearly 200KM long (197KM to be exact).

Unfortunate for Cunego
While he may not have had a great chance at getting on the podium, a crash has all but taken Cunego out of the race.

13:38 - Cunego Was 14th Overall...
After 3,000.5km of racing, Damiano Cunego was ranked 14th overall. His deficit to Sastre was 12’26" at the start of the day. He crashed at the 28km mark and is racing again with the help of three Lampre team-mates but the last time check had him 9’40" behind a fast moving peloton.

After 63KM - Update
The riders have gone 63KM so far in the 18th stage of the 2008 Tour de France and the peloton is all together.
There was a breakaway early on in the race and seven riders were clear by about 48 seconds.
There were also two major crashes - not in terms of numbers but in terms of severity. In one crash Sandy Casar was knocked out of the lead group and rejoined the peloton.
In the other, Damiano Cunego fell and was slow to get up. It took him nearly six minutes to get rolling again and is off the back of the race by seven minutes at this point.

SPOILER - Top 10 in Stage 9
I'll give you the Hincapie result in a second, but here's how the stage ended with Ricco in first and about nine other riders a minute and 17 seconds behind him.
Here's the list...
The top 10 in the stage from Toulouse to Bagneres-de-Bigorre is:
1. Riccardo Ricco (ITA) SDV - 224km in 5h39’28"
2. Vladimir Efimkin (RUS) ALM - at 1’04"
3. Cyril Dessel (FRA) ALM at 1’17"
4. Dmitriy Fofonov (KAZ) C.A at 1’17"
5. Christian Knees (GER) MRM at 1’17"
6. Maxime Montfort (BEL) COF at 1’17"
7. Alejandro Valverde (ESP) GCE at 1’17"
8. Roman Kreuziger (CZE) LIQ at 1’17"
9. Damiano Cunego (ITA) LAM at 1’17"
10. Yarsoslav Popovych (UKR) SIL at 1’17"
Interestingly, only Schumacher was dropped on the col d'Aspin and the main peloton stayed pretty much together. I'll have overall standings for you soon.
George Hincapie finished the stage in 60th spot, 6:27 back. Oh, George!
