A review of what happened Sunday: * Sunday’s stage: A 113.7-mile trek from Embrun, France, to the Italian ski resort of Prato Nevoso, with an uphill and rainy finish. * Winner: Simon Gerrans of Australia won after escaping from the pack in a four-man breakaway, clocking 4 hours 50 minutes 44 seconds to beat Spain’s Egoi Martinez by three seconds. * Yellow jersey: Luxembourg’s Frank Schleck takes the yellow jersey from Australia’s Cadel Evans with an attack in the final 500 yards. * Quote of the day: “We decide the race -- or at least make it hard and put the pressure on, because we have the strongest team.” -- Bjarne Riis, director of Schleck’s CSC team. * Next stage: Today is the Tour’s second rest day.
