With 2K remaining, Pablo Lastras (Illes Balears) put in a fatal attack that secured him a victory in stage 8 of the Tour de Suisse. The life-time Banesto-Illes Balears man was involved in a day-long escape, which formed before the first climb, the Col du Pillon. Michael Rogers (Quick-Step) held on to his leader's jersey, but a dent was put into his lead by Aitor Gonzalez (Euskaltel-Euskadi).

The day was a hot and steamy affair, covering 165K from Lenk to Verbier. The Swiss mountains provided breathtaking views but the temperatures were high. On tap today was the Col du Pillon, starting at 30K into the race, and Cat 2 finish to Verbier. In between the two climbs was a long valley of semi-flat roads. It was before the slopes of Pillon,and in the valley, where the escape group of 13 did their day's work.

The group formed 20K into the action. They rode the slopes of the Col du Pillon together and then down into the flat valley. It was 70K worth of road before reaching the day's final mountain. The 13: Thorwald Veneberg (Rabobank), Niki Aebersold (Phonak), Fabian Wegmann (Gerolsteiner), Daniele Righi (Lampre-Caffita), Walter Beneteau (Bouygues), Daniele Nardello (T-Mobile), Mathew Hayman (Rabobank), Allan Johansen (CSC), Angel Gomez (Saunier Duval - Prodir), Carlos Barredo (Liberty Seguros-Würth), René Haselbacher (Gerolsteiner), Pablo Lastras (Illes Balears) and Kjell Carlström (Liquigas-Bianchi).

The break-away looked promising all day, there was a lot of leg-power in the move, and no one was threatening the lead of Rogers. By the base of the final climb to Verbier the break had around 6 minutes in-hand, and their moved looked secure. Midway up the climb the attacks started from all angles. Veneberg launched a move that stuck for a kilometer but then faded. The real winning move came with 5K to go when Wegmann, Lastras and Barredo flew the nest. They worked well together until Lastras blasted away at the 2K banner. From there the former Tour de France stage winner made solid pace to take a nice Suisse victory.

The Euskaltel-Euskadi boys followed behind in an exciting GC battle. Laiseka and Aitor Gonzalez went off in search of moving up the GC. Aitor Gonzalez was a threat to Rogers and the Aussie moved to the front to limit losses. At the line Rogers lost a minute to the wily Spaniard, which will make tomorrow's final stage all the more difficult. Euskaltel-Euskadi will go guns-out for another overall ProTour victory, after winning Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré seven days previously. Stay tuned for tomorrow's roller-coaster: three huge climbs compacted into a 'short' 100K stage.
