Rivals line up to seize Carlos Sastre's yellow jersey crown

  • It was actually Cyril Lemoine in third for Skil-Shimano, and our other Japanese rider in the race took a top ten! Fumiyuki Beppu led out Lemoine and took 8th.

  •  Well!  That was something!  Thanks for joining us today and come back tomorrow to see what happens in the team time trial.  Will Armstrong slip into yellow?

     

  •  And here is our new GC:  Cancellara still in first, 33 seconds ahead of Tony Martin, with Armstrong moving up to third place, 40 seconds down.

  •  There will be some changes in the overall today.

     

    Cavendish took the win ahead of Hushovd and Lemoine.

  •  Over a minute later, small groups are still dribbling over the line.

  • We think the rider in third was De Kort of Skil-Shimano with a Cofidis rider in fourth behind Cavendish and Hushovd.

  •  Evans and Contador are among the losers today, as they cross the finish line some 39 seconds later.

  •  Hushovd gives his all to catch the speedy man in green, but in vain.  Two in a row for Cavendish!

  •   A Skil rider leads, followed by Cofidis.  Then lots of Columbias.

  •  Almost at the last km marker.  Cavendish's green jersey is showing.
