2010 Tour de France
July, 2010
Photos from Stage 8, Sunday July 11: Station des Rousses - Morzine-Avoriaz, 189 km
Shleck wins the stage after Sanchez went too early. Think he'll replay this stage in his mind for the next 30 or 40 years?
Roman Kreuziger and Robert Gesink lead the chasers over the line. Contador follows, between them.
Thomas Lovkvist and Bradley Wiggins followed in at 1min 45sec.
Lance Armstrong and Janez Brajkovic with Christophe Moreau following, between them.
That was fun. Sylvain Chavanel enjoys his last moment in yellow.
On the Morzine-Avoriaz climb Cadel Evans holds Andy Schleck's wheel. Further back are Roman Kreuziger and Ivan Basso.
Ryder Hesjedal turned in another excellent ride.
Armstrong takes it home after 3 crashes. On his left is Janez Brajkovic and I think behind him is Christophe Moreau. In the background is Thomas Voeckler in an unzipped French champion's jersey. He was still in very good company.
The post-race press scrum surrounds Lance Armstrong.
Raymond Poulidor (now he gets to wear yellow!) and Andy Schleck on the awards platform.
