Brittany, France

Overview:
Team Garmin-Chipotle riders are recording the stages of the 2008 Tour de France with their Garmin Edge 705s for you data hungry fans out there. Each day, we will feature one rider and his data.

At 164.5 km, stage 2 is one of the shorter road stages. It is flat to rolling as it winds north to the ocean through the hills of Brittany. The climbs are small but mean and include three category 4 climbs and one category 3 climb, the Mur-de-Bretagne (282m). The finish is slightly uphill into the center of Saint-Brieuc.

Follow Martijn Maaskant on as manages to mix it up in the final mass sprint and finish 14th on the stage.
