Tour de France 2010

Racing is underway and a break has gone already, containing Pineau, Voigt and Luis Leon Sanchez. He's only 5 mins down on GC so the likes of BMC, Saxo Bank and Astana are going to keep this break on a short leash. It's going to be a long, long day for the sprinters.

12 riders clear;

Jerome Pineau (QuickStep), Thos Hushovd (Cevelo), Jens Voigt (Saxo Bank), Cyril Gautier (Bbox), Luis Leon Sanchez (Caisse d'Epargne) , Jose Ivan Gutierrez (Caisse d'Epargne), Christophe Moreau (Caisse d'Epargne), Sandy Casar ( FdJ), Rinaldo Nocentini (AG2R), Johannes Fröhlinger (Milram), Anthony Charteau ( Bbox).

Damiano Cunego and a couple of Euskaltel riders are trying to get across.
