Racing | Tour De France | Stage 10

18:17 CEST   

What a day it was today in the mountains. Thanks for joining us today. Now riders and readers will take a well deserved rest day. We will back on Wednesday with the action of stage 11.

Until then, you will find brief results and report here. Look out for our wrap of the first week tomorrow. And see you on Wednesday!

17:53 CEST   

Evans sheds a few tears as he kisses the lion he receives on the podium.

The autobus is still struggling up. The time cut is around 41 minutes. Currently. 27 minutes have passed, but the sprinters and non-climbers are inside the barriers already.

17:48 CEST   

And now is the moment! Cadel Evans receives the yellow jersey, flowers and some kisses from the all-yellow podium girls.

17:37 CEST   

We'd like to thank Bobby Julich for his contributions today - it was fascinating to get a pro's view of the stage. We are sure he wishes that CSC had the jersey tonight, but the team is certainly within striking distance now...

17:35 CEST   

Vande Velde had a superb performance. What does his compatriot think?

Bobby Julich: Christian has proven to himself and the world that he is a contender. There is no reason to question his result because he has been solid from the first day.

Remember, he is also a great TT rider and could make up for any hiccup in the mountains in the final TT. Great job VdV!!!

17:34 CEST   

Andy Schleck trails in now, looking very tired. He's lost 8'58 today, and the white jersey.

17:32 CEST   

Bobby Julich: Frank will be motivated after today, but he has to be disappointed not to take the yellow. He was so close and now that 1 second will be the hardest one he will have have to win back.

17:32 CEST   

Evans in yellow! He gets it by just one second...Schleck will be disappointed.

Vande Velde is third, 38 seconds back...superb ride.

Valverde and Cunego finish now, Cunego pulling ahead of the Spaniard. They are 5'53 back...ouch..

17:29 CEST   

Bobby Julich: Wow, looks like Cadel saves the jersey by one second!

17:29 CEST   

We think Evans takes yellow, two seconds ahead of Schleck... This has to be confirmed...
