2009 Tour de France Stage 10: Bastille Day Edition
Frenchmen Thierry Hupond (Skil-Shimano), Benoït Vaugrenard (Française des Jeux) and Samuel Dumoulin (Cofidis, Le Credit en Ligne) felt the Bastille Day spirit today as they attacked early in Stage 10 of the 2009 Tour de France today, with Russian Mikhail Ignatiev (Team Katusha) joining in the early breakaway. In spite of the radio ban (or maybe because of it?), the peloton reeled them in just a mile from the finish today.
Rabobank's Gricscha Niermann mounts a CB radio antenna to his helmet before Stage 10 of the Tour de France to protest today's race radio ban.
Spoilers below...
Well, alleged spoilers, anyway. Not much has changed in rankings since last week.
Cavendish beat Thor Hushovd and Tyler Farrar as they all sprinted for the finish line in Issoudun. Italian Rinaldo Nocentini (AG2R La Mondiale) retains the Yellow Jersey, while Astana still owns the next four places.
