Spaniard Luis Leon Sanchez won stage 14 of the Tour de France on a day of drama and sabotage in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The Rabobank all-rounder attacked from a five-man break 10 kilometres from the finish of the 191km stage to secure his fourth career win in the Tour. But the battle for the GC was put on hold in bizarre scenes on the descent of the last of three climbs, the Cat.1 Mur de Peguere, just under 40km from the finish in Foix. A series of punctures - including three for defending champion Cadel Evans - brought about a truce on the front of the main peloton from the Sky team of race leader Bradley Wiggins. Race commissaires later confirmed that a number of thumb tacks and pins had been found on the road.
