Tour de France 2010: Stage 10

By published

January 1 - July 25, Chambery, France, Road - GT

Refresh

Stage Ten is an “int🍌ermediate mountain stage” with several special features: 1) It is the perfect day for a group to get away and stay away. 2) It is Bastille Day, so look for the French riders to try and dominate the day. 3) The run-in to Gap will remind everyone of Joseba Beloki's horrific crash in 2003.

Hello and welcome back to the Tour de France.  After yesterday's dra💖matic happenings, we expect things to be aꦅ bit quieter today – but who knows?

We#re sorry t﷽o say it's going to be another hot one today.  It is already 32 Celsius.

The riders have alredy started out on the 4.9km long neut🌳ralised zone.  There are lots and lots of people here cheering them on their way.

As far as we know,🌺 all the riders from yesterday were at the start today.  Including Cadel Eva🃏ns.

Mark Cavendish is in the front row of the race.  We don't expect to see h🅠im there very long today.

Cavendish takes off, togehter with Voeckler and Champ🃏ion.  They have, oh, five seconds on the field🌟?

Let's make that Tony Martiওn instead🎶 of Cav.  And the yre no longer leading, anyway.

Everybody wants to be in the escape group of the day today, so it💝 is a bit unsettled at th⛎e moment.

Now a Lampe rider has a slight lead.  He keeps looking back to see who mightꦫ join him.  Turns out to be the whole fie𒁃ld.

Edva🌄ld Boasson Hagen (Sky) and two others are the next to try their luck.

They are caught and RadioShack's ܫY🃏aroslav Popovych takes off.  And is caught.

A group of five has built up a small lead.  At the other end of the field, Manue🦄l Quinziato drops back to the team car for some bike repairs.

That group is caught as well.

There are continuing attacks and counter-attacks and counter-counte♛r-attacks, but so far nothing is working.

For  those of you playing our Easton-Cyclingnews Wheelset a Day Giveaway during the Tour de France, here is your trivia question for the day:
What was the fewest ever finishers?

We continue heading south today, 179 km from Chambery to Gap.  It is an odd profile. The first 70 kms are slightly rolling, and then wham!  A category one mountain takes the peloton up to 886 metres, and they then pretty much stay up there.  There is another short climb some 20 km later.  At about 𓆏the 130 km mark, they start going up again, the category two Col du Noyer. From there on it is down, up an unranked climb and then down to the finish.

163km remaining from 179km

Hunter is only now climbing back on his bike.

Three Lampres, Hushovd and McEwen take off for the sprint.  𒀰Petacchi grabs the points with Hushovd second and McEwen third.

Four riders includig Tony Martin have gotten together and picked up a little leaꦑd.   Let's see if we can get some names.

THere was another crash a minute or two ag♍o.  Popꦏovych and De Greef went down, but are back up.

153km remaining from 179km

But just like that, they are caught, too.

A Cofidis rider is next to go.  He is jo😼in🥂ed by several others -- Matthew Lloyd, Carlos Barredo, and several more.

Th🥀ey are caught and Rohregger of Milram tries it.  ♏He too is caught.

148km remaining from 179km

Aerts and D💟evenyns hဣave now established a small lead.

They have been joined by several others now.

Hunter is back in the field.💞  Popovych has quite a rip in his shorts from t𝐆hat crash.

142km remaining from 179km

There is quite a bit of discussion at the head of the pelo📖ton.  The French teams are not happy that there are no French riders in the group and want to give chase.  Everyone else is happy to let this group go.

Lance Armstrong (RadioShack) and Bernie ꦦEisel of HTC-Columbia have a chat at the head of the field.

The gap is increasi🦹ng and is now up to one minute.

Two more riders take off and try to move up.

135km remaining from 179km

Dan Benson is going to ho♎p on board and take over for a while.

Thank you Susan and hello one and all

Two Frenchmen are now trying to make it across to the leaders but I'm not sure they'll make it, the gap is nearly two mi☂nutes.

The four leaders are now riding through a colourful French town, 🍬small roads that will help them in their bid to extend the gap.

The bunch have sat up now seem c♔ontent to let them go. Saxo on the front, Armstrong too and they're having a little chat, so no chase.

Any question on today's stage or the race in general, fire over a tweet to twitter.com/dnlbenson and I'll ꦰdo my best to answer you. Unless you꧟'re mean.

128km remaining from 179km

Three categorised climbs still to come so we could see mor🐠e action from the bunch quite soon but today's stage looks ideal for a break.

Let's catch up on bit of news. Here's a great new blog from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Greg Lemond. But 🗹there's news that Le Mevel could be heading to Garmin-Transitions.

124km remaining from 179km

Maxime Bouet is the rider with Rolland

Total lack of interest🔯 from the bunch now. Garmin and Saxo riders having a bit of a natter - perhaps comparing post-Tour holiday plans. I don't really know but Wiggins and Cavendish are at the back, also chatting.

maxknee🐭 @dnlbenson so is cadel completely done? do you think he can make any attempts to salvage his TdF?

Here is a quick peek at today's climbs:
• Km 77.0 - Côte de Laffrey - 7.0 km climb to 9 % - Category 1
• Km 98.0 - Côte des Terrasses - 3.3 km climb to 7.1 % - Category 3
• Km 145.5 - Col du Noyer - 7.4 km climb to 5.3 % - Category 2
 

Both Levi Leipheimer and Lance Armstrong of RadioShack were happy with their rides on Tuesday. Looking back at the first nine stages of this year's race, Armstrong said, “'ve had bad luck and I know that I can't change that. But I've had seven years with hardly a flat, hardly a crash. It’s logical that luck catches up with you. I wish I could change it but I can't. I just have to hold my head high, ride for the team and go out having fun." You can read their comments here.

120km remaining from 179km

First day for Andy Schleck in yellow. Nice to see he hasn't gone the whole way and kitted himself out in an entire yellow ensemble. Just a jerᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚsey and helmet. Just like he promised when we caught up with him Rotte𝓀rdam.

W♔iggins is drifting back now, waitinꦆg for a team car.

117km remaining from 179km

Cancellara is havꩲing some lunch at the front of the bunch as the leaders pus🉐h out to 8.32.

Maxime Bouet 𒐪(Ag2r) and Pierre Rolland (Bbox) are pretty close to making it across to the four leaders so the F🗹rench might just get their win today. They're maybe 100 meters away. Nice work chaps.

rob_tandy @dnlbenso♔n Even though Schleck is in Yellow, the burden is on him, correct? We can assume that Contador can more than close the gap in TT?

111km remaining from 179km

Going from four riders to six will greatly improvꩵe the chances of this move wo🍨rking.

107km remaining from 179km

O'Grady now on the front for Saxo.

Ten years ago O'Grad꧅y was in credit𒐪 Agricole colours and crashed out of the race on stage 6.

That year Javier Ochoa won a famo🦄us stage to Hautacam, Armstrong rode into yellow David Millar won the proglogue.

105km remaining from 179km

Serguei Ivanvov was meant to ride the 2000 Tour too but was kicked♑ out by his team before the start after failing the 50 🗹per cent test. Farm Frites was the team he rode for back then.

Back with the leaders and Kiryi꧟enka is leading the break up the climb, with Saxo still controlling affairs behind. 

The 𒅌veteran Aerts nowౠ moves to the front and ups the pace. He's having a good Tour.

Van Summeren now at the back of the bunch and getting a bottle. So too are💎 Cofidis and Euskatel riders

103km remaining from 179km

Good crowds on the road today, as you would expect, being Bastille Day. So the leaders are getting good support. Wiggins, meanwhile, is pouri🐼ng water over himself back at the team car.

101km remaining from 179km

Andy Schleck is back at the team ca🐟r, picking up a bottle an♏d having a word with Riis.

The break on th🥂e descent now, still working well together.

Schleck has made his way to the front of the bunch already, his team still setting the🦂 pace.

Th🎃e bunch are near the top of the climb now and there's a scrap for the▨ final points.

That means the mountains jersey is in the hands of P💝ineau as thinﷺgs now stand.

The leaders are going through the feed now and each grab a mussette. Aerts has look inside as he sits up bef🎉ore taking out a bar of some kind and then getting back down on the bars.

Fabulous scenery in this part of France with the 🎐mountains to one side and lakes to the other.

Bouet drops back to the ca♏r, perhaps unhappy wiꦐth the lunch on offer from AG2R and picks up another snack.

The gap is now back over  nine minutes, Saxo still on the front of the bunch controlling things𓆉. No serious dangers in the break, Rolland is the highest placed rider on GC but he's well down on yellow.

96km remaining from 179km

83km remaining from 179km

Here's a look back to seven years ago today, on these same roads. ꦯThis is how th🐲e Cyclingnews race report described the incident:

That was basically the end of Beloki's career. He signed with Brioches La Boulangere for the 2004 season, but switched to Saunier Duval-Prodir mid-season. He went back to Manolo Saiz' team, called Liberty Seguros-Würth, in 2005, and finished 75th in the Tour de France. The next year, he ws implicated in the Operacion Puerto affar and withd♎rawn from the Tour.

The leaders are climbing well here and working together, Kiryienka is doing the lion-share of the work 🌜🐭though.

Aerts comes over a🧸nd takes the maximum points 🌳at the top

The Caisse rider has now dropped back to the team car and gets some food from the car. Nice mullet actionඣ going on there, obviously inspired by Karpets.

Back to Beཧloki, for a second, it's worth pointing out that he was cleared of all involvement some time later.

78km remaining from 179km

Cancellara is still on the front for Saxo Bank𓄧. The Astana boys are close to the front as well but Pineau is ܫat the back of the bunch and wont be going for any points on this climb.

Pineau is loading up on bottles nowꦇ. I make that five, now six.

74km remaining from 179km

Cadel Evans sitting comfortably in the bu🌃nch, with his team around him. Basso close to him right now.

The stage ends in Gap, which has been visited 19 times previously. Such riders as 𒉰G&🍌eacute;miniani, Nencini, Bernard, Zabel and Vinokourov have won here. In recent years, stages that have started here have gone on to finish at the Alpe d'Huez, as in 1991 when Gianno Bugno won and 2006 when Fränk Schleck won.

68km remaining from 179km

However, there is an uncategorised climb close to the finish that could cause problems. Perhaps someone will use that as a launchpad for a winning attack? Right now the leaders are working well together but sooner or 🐭later the harmony will come to and 🔜end.

Bouet drops back t𝓡o his team car now, not happy with his radio for some reason.

Special Bres🧸chel now comes to the front and the Saxo boys a🦄re having a bit of a chatter. Glorious scenes over the French mountains. Perhaps that's what they're talking about.

60km remaining from 179km

Pineau𒁏, who was struggling on the last climb, is back with the race doctor now. He's having his arm bandaged again.

55km remaining from 179km

Rolland pou🐷rs a bottꦰle over the back of his neck and then comes through and takes a turn on the front.

54km remaining from 179km

Who are you tipping for the win today? Let me know at twitter.com🦹/dnlbenson. It's going to be o♏ne of the six riders at the front of the race, but which one?

The leaders are climbing again an꧅d Aerts comes to the front, gets out of the saddle and 🌊swings off.

Rolland is possibly the biggest threat today. He can follow wheels on the climbs and is very strong. Kiryienka has a track background and won a stage in the Giro when he was at Tinkoff. I'm sure Aerts has won a semi-Classics💧 before, perhaps Fleche, Paolinho is perhaps the best climber here while Bou🌊et is the wildcard here.

Onto the last climb of the day for the bunch now 𒈔and Sorensen is on the front now as Sax🎶o Bank continue to lead things.

46km remaining from 179km

Thanks for all your tweets. Mixed opinions on who you think will win. Many of you pickingꦗ Aerts and the Radioshack climber.  Paolinho posted a rather interesting tweet himself a few days ago. Try and dig it out if you have time. It was posted on the rest day.

44km remaining from 179km

As we're pic𝄹king today's winner, let's ask the rest of the CN crew who they're going for...

Laura Weislo: "It's Bastille Day - I predict Rolland will win and Bouet will 🌠work with him."

Barry Ryan: "I'll go for Aerts."

Peter Hymas: "hmmm....I'm going with Paulinho."

Rabobank have moved a couple of men to the front ofܫ the bunch now, trying to make sure tha𒈔t Menchov and Gesink are well protected no doubt.

Susan Westemeyer: "I'll take kiryinka."

And from Twitter: nightwol @♏dnlbenson My tip for the winner from the break must be Rolland - French win on Bastille Day mandatory꧑!

39km remaining from 179km

A bit of k♏nowledge for you: Today's stage starated in Chambery, for only the second time. A stage had started here also in 1996. The Criterium du Dauphine Libere has visited more often, 20 times to be exact. And it was here that American Greg Lemond won hs world championship title in 1989.

The leaders look tired now, still on the caꦜt 2 climb, there are a few gaps showing but nothing major. Aerts is driving things along.

Bouet is starting to struggle, he's about a bike length off the bac🌱k now.

Saxo Bank come through and get some bottles from the side of the road as the AG2R gets ba🦋ck on to the leaders.

Ag𓆉ain, great crowds out today, even though theꦰ temperatures are so, so high.

35km remaining from 179km

꧒As Bouet again starts to lose ground. He's struggling now, looking dဣown to see how many gears he has but he's totally blown as Aerts drives things on. Right, Rolland, France expects you to win. No pressure.

So five riders now in the lead but Bouet isn't giving up. he's may♉be 25 meters down on the others. 1km until the summit.

He's made such a effort today, first bridging over to the leaders in the first part of the race and then⛦ working hard in the break. If he can just keep the five leaders in sight he 🦋should make contact on the descent.

Great job. He's back on.

A very, very tricky and technical descent coming up. Aerts is sti🉐l𝐆l leading.

33km remaining from 179km

Bouet has to take a foot out of the pedal, 🐓almost losing control of his bike.

They're not going crazy down here but it's a very fast section. Just rolling down without an🅰y effort.

27km remaining from 179km

The bunch are 1km from the summit of the climb.

Slight rise for the leaders now before the rest of the descent. Bouet again in trouble but he's hanging on. Moreau nips away from the💧 bunch in order to gain some points. Not sure if there are any points left though...

23km remaining from 179km

Bouet takes a bottle, he's sti𒊎ll at the back of the lead group. I wonder if he has anything left in the tank.

🍸Remember, there's that rise just before the finish. We'll see an attack there, for sure.

Four out of five riders are still working, Bouet, ൲just sitting in.

Rolland and Bouet have a chat at the back of the bunch wit𒐪h 20km to go.

18km remaining from 179km

And Bouet is off the back again. He's out of the sa♈ddle and gets back on again.

Rolland looks around to make sure he's there. France want tไhat w♎in.

17km remaining from 179km

Rolland drops back and talks to Roux. He knows what it takes to ღwin a stage in the Tour de France. Rolland nods, and moves back to the leaders.

15km remaining from 179km

Aerts attacks.

An Aerts attack you might say.

14km remaining from 179km

Aerts pops and so does Rolland so it's up to Paolinho and Kiryienka ꦜto do the cha🐬sing.

Devenyns tried this kind of 💃thing in the 2009 Giro, but it didn't quit🦂e work out for him - the stage to Benevento

Devenyns is pushin𝓰g hard but Paolinho goes right by🐻 him and again the Caisse rider has to chase.

Only a small gap for the Shack rider

Kiryie♚nka🐻 gets back and tries to attack but cant' get a gap. Is it a two-man battle?

Devenyns Aerts and Rolland are gone.

12km remaining from 179km

11km remaining from 179km

Paolinho just sitting in for now. That little rise 🐼we talked about earlier, we'll here we go..

And Paolinho comes through and takes a turn.

9km remaining from 179km

9km remaining from 179km

Kiryienka again pushing t𒅌hings, he's not hanging around h🧜ere.

it's a two man battl♑e for the stage now. There's nearly a minute betw💟een the two groups.

5km remaining from 179km

Such a hard d𝔉escent for these two𓃲, they're doing an amazing ride.

And Roche has attacked from the bunch.

The Irishman has around 200 meters on the bunch.

3km remaining from 179km

Fairly flat run-in now for the t🍰wo leaders. Both of them sharing the work.

Paolinho looks back but they've got o🌃ver a minute now.

Less than 2km to go now and Paolinho♛ drifts to the back. He comes through, will he have to lead things out?

1km remaining from 179km

Kiryienka comes th🃏rough. Not sure why, he didnt  have to do that.

The Caisse rider looks back,

he moves to tꦯhe cen🌳ter of the road, loooks back again. and here we go.

Paolinho goes for it and it could be his.

Kiryienka is coming back though🌠 and it's going to be close,.

Paolinho takes it. Just

Aerts leading in for third.

Devenyns takes third, Rolland and then Aerts.

Here comes Bouet.

Over to Barry to finish things off for today.

Saxo Bank are controlling things back in the peloton on the descent into Gap. Shades of the stage t⛎o Spa last week, although they're certainly correct in doing so to🐼day.

Nicolas Roche (Ag2r) is the next man in. He slipped off the front of the peloton in the closing kilometres. Rémi Pauriol (Cofidis) has done the same to show off the Cofidi🌳s jersey on Bastille Day.

Pauriol comes in a shade under 14 minutes down.

The peloton arrives in at 14:20 and Mark Cavendish takes the sprint ahead of Alessandro 💛Petacchi and Thor Hushovd. Hushovd will hold on to the green jersey tonight.

Provisional stage result:

Provisional overall standings:

Thanks for joining us for today's stageဣ. Tomorrow the race goes from Sisteron to Bourg-les-Valence. Expect a break to go clear early on, perhaps on the Col de Cabre and the run-in to the finish should be a white-knuckle pursuit between the escapees in front and the sprinters' teams behind.

Thanks for joining us.

Provisional stage result:

1. Sergio Paulinho (Radio Shack)
2. Vasili Kiryienka (Caisse d’Epargne) s.t.
3. Dries Devenyns (Quick Step) at 1:29
4. Pierre Rolland (Bbox) s.t.
5. Mario Aerts (Omega Pharma-Lotto) s.t
