Tour de France

Today is a rest day. Wednesday’s 11th stage is a 104.1-mile trek through medium mountains from Lannemezan to Foix.

A review of what happened Monday:

* Monday’s stage: A 96.9-mile ride from Pau to Hautacam featured famed Tour ascents up the Tourmalet and Hautacam, among the most challenging in the Pyrenees, and so difficult that they do not have a classification.

* Winner: Leonardo Piepoli of Italy beat Saunier Duval teammate Juan Jose Cobo Acebo of Spain. Both clocked the same time of 4 hours 19 minutes 27 seconds. Frank Schleck of Luxembourg was third, 28 seconds back.

* Yellow jersey: Cadel Evans of Australia took the yellow jersey from Kim Kirchen of Luxembourg, who dropped to seventh. Evans grimaced in pain as he tackled the high climbs and fast descents the day after a heavy crash. Schleck is one second behind Evans in second place. Christian Vande Velde of the United States is 38 seconds behind in third.

* Quote of the day: “My own osteopath, who travels with me, put me back into pieces, and the team doctor patched me up from ankle to neck, with a few holes.” -- Evans, describing how he recovered from a crash in the ninth stage.
