Second week of Tour De France has started
Kategorie: Global NewsAfter a first week that will be remembered most for horrific crashes and the exit of several overall contenders, the second week of the 2011 Tour de France opened with a shorter stage following the first rest day. The 158 kilometer route between Aurillac and Carmaux ended with a technical run-in to the line that saw Andre Greipel (Omega Pharma Lotto) emerge victorious. The mass finish left the overall unchanged, and Thomas Voeckler (Europcar) sees another day in yellow.
LEOPARD TREK continues to sit pretty with Fränk Schleck in fourth and Andy Schleck in fifth. Both remain within striking distance of third-placed Cadel Evans (BMC). Voeckler and Luis Leon Sanchez (Rabobank) occupy the first and second spots on the general classification thanks to their move on Sunday’s stage nine.
