Armstrong Stamps Authority on Race, Valverde gets Stage Win

Stage List, Stage Profile, Photos

Boom, boom, boom and Armstrong storms back in to yellow at the end of a hard stage 10. Lance Armstrong (Discovery Channel) looked as strong as ever, his team dominated on the day's climbs. Out of a group of four it was the Spaniard Valverde to take the stage win over Armstrong. Voigt (Team CSC) was dropped hard and lost the leader's jersey as expected.

It was a day of high mountains and heat when the riders departed. The departure was a little late due to protests in Grenoble. As soon as the affairs were under way the duo of Joost Posthuma (Rabobank) and Laurent Brochard (Bouygues Telecom) got the ball rolling with an attack. The duo were quickly joined, forming a 7-man break, by Yuriy Krivtsov (Ag2R Prévoyance), Inaki Isasi (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Gianluca Bortolami (Lampre-Caffita), Mauro Facci (Fassa Bortolo) and Luis Sanchez (Liberty Seguros - Würth). As they approached the Cormet-de-Roselend, the day's first of two climbs, they built up a maximum of around 8 minutes.

Today was a day for blood flow, and this break of 7 was never going to work. All the favorites were ready to try their legs on the Tour's first mountain stage. The group of seven became 5 as the slopes of Cormet-de-Roselend kicked in. Isasi and Bortolami could not handle the pace on the Cat 1 climb and faded off. While back in the peloton it was super Voigt riding on the front of the peloton with Discovery Channel.

Mid-way up Cormet-de-Roselend it was the former Giro Champion, Stefano Garzelli, to start shaking things up. Garzelli (Liquigas-Bianchi) went on a dig and quickly strung out the peloton. One by one riders joined Garzelli, leaving the peloton single file down the road. By the small peak of the Col du Meraillet Disco once again had control. The peloton continued to make their way to the summit of Cormet-de-Roselend.

The descent of Cormet-de-Roselend was all speed for the escapees. Brochard was hammering in the lead with impressive bike handling skills. The peloton took it a little easier, but Popo (Discovery Channel) did take a tumble when his tire punctured.

In the valley before Courchevel the escape group was all together again, being joined by Jorg Jaksche (Liberty Seguros - Würth) and Oscar Pereiro (Phonak). The two had bridged up on the descent, and quickly went on their own. With Jaksche finally going solo, but caught before the day's end.

Back in the diminishing peloton it was business as usually for team Lance Armstrong. The group was whittled down to 18 in the peloton: 4 were Disco riders (Tex with Ace, George, and Popo), Levi Leipheimer was isolated, Vino and Ulle represented a fading T-Mobile, Landis, Valverde and Mancebo, Evans, Rasmussen, among others. Soon the group blew apart with the pace of Ace and George, leaving Popo as the last rider for Tex. Then Ulle blew with Vino. There was silence amongst the Italian fans as they watched their Ivan Basso (Team CSC) suffer at the back, then he faded.

Soon it was only 4: Armstrong, Rasmussen (Rabobank) in all polka-dot, and the Ills Balears duo of Mancebo and Valverde. Armstrong was doing most of the work with a trio of riders trailing behind. After gestures from the American, the others would come through and pull. Armstrong's dominance was clear, he looked well on his way to the 7th Tour de France victory. Rasmussen put in a dig at 1K, which was marked. Then it was the American to open up the sprint in the closing 300 meters. As Armstrong faded Valverde came by for a win.

Armstrong is now back in yellow and looks as strong as he did in 1999. In the GC battle Basso follows in third at 2'40" and Ullrich back to 4 minutes. Now the lights have been turned off for many competitors. Rasmussen is close (2nd at 38") to Armstrong, but his strength over the coming two weeks is unlikely.
