Stage 11 15 July 2010 — Sisteron to Bourg-lès-Valence, 184.5 km 1 on This is classified as a flat stage, visiting the third-category Col de la Cabre after 56.5 km 1 on and then descending most of the way to the finish. http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-11 July 15, Stage 11: Sisteron – Bourg-les-Valence 184.5km 2010-06-16 Cycling News 2010-07-02 https://web.archive.org/web/20100626012021/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-11 2010-06-26 dead The stage got off to a normal start with a three-man breakaway forming just after passing through kilometer zero. The three riders were Stéphane Augé of COF 2010, Anthony Geslin of FDJ 2010, and FOT 2010's José Alberto Benítez. The breakaway would stay out in front for the majority of the stage, but they were absorbed by the peloton with 25 km 1 on to go. Now it was time for the sprinters, but SAX 2010 took control of the peloton and pushed the tempo up to 62 km/h. Then the sprinters' teams came to the front and started the dash to the line. Mark Renshaw led out Mark Cavendish for the thirteenth Tour de France stage win of his career. In a controversial decision Renshaw was disqualified and forced to abandon the Tour for head butting Julian Dean during the sprint and for moving into Tyler Farrar's line.Les Clarke http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-11/results Cavendish takes win number three 2010-07-15 Cycling News 2010-07-15 https://web.archive.org/web/20100716180003/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-11/results 16 July 2010 dead Stage 11 result Rank Rider Team Time 1 Mark Cavendish GBR THR 2010 4h 42' 29" 2 Alessandro Petacchi ITA LAM 2010b s.t. 3 Tyler Farrar USA GRM 2010 s.t. 4 José Joaquín Rojas ESP 20px|A jersey with a black rider number on a yellow background GCE 2010 s.t. 5 Robbie McEwen AUS KAT 2010 s.t. 6 Yukiya Arashiro JPN BTL 2010 s.t. 7 Thor Hushovd NOR 20px|Green jersey CTT 2010 s.t. 8 Lloyd Mondory FRA ALM 2010 s.t. 9 Jürgen Roelandts BEL OLO 2010 s.t. 10 Gerald Ciolek GER MRM 2010 s.t.General classification after stage 11 Rank Rider Team Time 1 Andy Schleck LUX 20px|link=General classification in the Tour de France|alt=A yellow jersey. 20px|White jersey SAX 2010 53h 43' 25" 2 Alberto Contador ESP AST 2010 + 41" 3 Samuel Sánchez ESP EUS 2010 + 2' 45" 4 Denis Menchov RUS RAB 2010 + 2' 58" 5 Jurgen Van den Broeck BEL OLO 2010 + 3' 31" 6 Levi Leipheimer USA RSH 2010 + 3' 59" 7 Robert Gesink NED RAB 2010 + 4' 22" 8 Luis León Sánchez ESP 20px|A jersey with a black rider number on a yellow background GCE 2010 + 4' 41" 9 Joaquim Rodríguez ESP KAT 2010 + 5' 08" 10 Ivan Basso ITA LIQ 2010 + 5' 09" Stage 12 16 July 2010 — Bourg-de-Péage to Mende, 210.5 km 1 on This stage is hilly, with two second-category and three third-category climbs.

Some major riders were Thor Hushovd of CTT 2010, Andreas Klöden of RSH 2010, and Alexander Vinokourov of AST 2010. Hushovd regained the lead in the points classification after winning the second intermediate sprint of the day. With about 48 km to go in the stage Klöden, Vinokourov, GRM 2010's Ryder Hesjedal, and Vasil Kiryienka of GCE 2010 jumped off the front of the breakaway.

With Schleck needing to make up lost time on Contador, he launched numerous attacks in the final 15 kilometres. However, surrounded by his fans, Contador fought to stay on the wheel of Schleck. Late on, Contador attacked himself but was pulled back. Schleck went on to take the stage, but Contador, who was happy to follow Schleck and did not sprint, had a seemingly unassailable lead.

Fabian Cancellara took his second victory of the tour, whilst Tony Martin finished second. The battle between Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck for the yellow jersey also reached its climax. With Contador being the more accomplished Time-Trialist, he was expected to increase his lead. However, at the first time check, Schleck had taken time out of him and the lead was down to two seconds. However, from there on in, Contador began to open a gap, and ended picking time up 31 seconds on Schleck, meaning his Yellow Jersey was now safe. http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-19 July 24, Stage 19: Bordeaux – Pauillac 52km 2010-06-16 Cycling News 2010-07-02 https://web.archive.org/web/20100626072855/http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/97th-tour-de-france-gt/stage-19 2010-06-26 dead Stage 19 result Rank Rider Team Time 1 Fabian Cancellara SUI SAX 2010 1h 00' 56" 2 Tony Martin GER THR 2010 + 17" 3 Bert Grabsch GER THR 2010 + 1' 48" 4 Ignatas Konovalovas LTU CTT 2010 + 2' 34" 5 David Zabriskie USA GRM 2010 + 3' 00" 6 Koos Moerenhout NED RAB 2010 + 3' 03" 7 Vasil Kiryienka BLR GCE 2010 + 3' 10" 8 Maarten Tjallingii NED RAB 2010 + 3' 21" 9 Bradley Wiggins GBR SKY 2010 + 3' 33" 10 Geraint Thomas GBR SKY 2010 + 3' 38"General classification after stage 19 Rank Rider Team Time 1 Alberto Contador ESP 20px|link=General classification in the Tour de France|alt=A yellow jersey.
