Calzati claims Tour stage eight
Frenchman Sylvain Calzati masterminded a remarkable breakaway to claim victory in stage eight of the Tour de France with Ukrainian Serhiy Honchar holding onto the yellow jersey.
The 27-year-old, riding for the A2R team, produced a dominant display to win all four categorised climbs before breaking away from a six-man pack with 28 kilometres remaining to win with ease.
