2011 Tour de France, Stage 10: Aurillac - Carmaux, 158 km

[Ferminal]

Great job by all the sprinters who made the finish today though. Not surprising Cav couldn't quite finish it.

 

[The Sheep]

Greipel

 

[Jamsque]

Greipel by a wheel. Great, great sprint. He survived those hills much better than Cavendish.

[Maxiton]

Totally out sprinted him, man to man.

 

[jobiwan]

Well done to Greipel!!!

 

[spalco]

Gilbert nowhere in the sprint. Not that I can blame him

 

[thirteen]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

 

[Moondance]

Tour de France is now officially a shit small race.

 

[The Hitch]

Great to see Big Phil celebrate as he comes in later. Top teamwork.

 

[RdBiker]

Hushovd up there too, he's still in the green jersey race.

 

[Tugboat]

So it seems Greipel can beat Cavendish in a flat sprint

Great example of a one-on-one sprint too!

 

[Ramira]

Sieberg and Gilbert pretty happy for Greipel too.

 

[cycladianpirate]

Yet another decent showing for Thomas.

 

[woodie]

Congrats to Griepel

 

[HL2037]

So now we've seen Cavendish without his train

Do you think Gilbert sacrificed himself on purpose to wear out the sprint teams?

 

[sultanofhyd]

Rojas 3rd, who would have thought.

Chapeau to Greipel!

Caveman, cry your heart out.

 

[Jamsque]

Cav does pretty well in the green jersey standings out of this.

 

[superconfex]

What a great last 20 kms

 

[trevim]

Hats off to Cavendish launching it from so far out!
What's up with Oss? Isn't he supposed to be a classics rider? Sometimes he appears in the sprints top-10 which I don't really understand

 

[maltiv]

EBH still can't get through those corners. Is there a single sprint this year when there's not a sharp corner in the final kilometer?

 

[Carl0880]

Gilbert nowhere in the sprint. Not that I can blame him

Actually he finished 15th, which consider that effort is really good. He showed panache by trying the attack to win, his teammates took first and he still managed to get some points, not bad.

 

[Machu Picchu]

Chapeau Greipel! great win, good to see him and Gilbert celebrating together!

 

[Anonymous]

Man to man, Cav came up short. Good thing he has a hot girlfriend.

 

[hrotha]

Okay, that was perfect and pretty epic. Movie material, right there. Congrats to Greipel.

Another pretty good stage, all things considered.

Probably... He is a great man
