Today the Tour covered 210.5km of hilly terrain between Bourg-de-Peage and Mende. Joaquin Rodriguez-Kathusha won the stage beating Alberto Contador-Astana in and two man sprint.
Yellow Jersey: Andy Schleck-Saxo Bank held on to yellow despite losing 10 second to second place overall Alberto Contador who is 0:31 back. Samuel Sanchez Gonzales-Euskaltel-Euskadi is third 2:45 behind the leader. Lance is #32 21:16 back. The Andy and Albert show has gotten even tighter. Other interested contenders need start making their moves soon if they have anything to move with. Green Jersey: Thor Hushovd-Cevelo took back the green he lost yesterday. He only has a 6 point lead over Alessandro Petacchi-Lampre-Farnese. Robbie McEween is third 29 points back. Mark Cavendish is 35 points back. Hushovd scraped up most of the few sprint points in the mountains last year. Will this be enough to once again leave him in first in Paris?

Andy Schleck, of all people is in third althought be it 43 points behind Charteau. Team classification; team Radioshack has a 0:21 lead over Caisse d'Epargne. Astana is third, 15:43 behind the leader. Note: Andy Schleck is wearing: yellow, leading the young rider competition (white jersey) and is third in the polka -dot jersey.
