Today’s 108km stage 19 was billed as a mountain sprint. True to form, the first 14km saw some furious racing before a big breakaway went away. They didn’t last long, though, as Alberto Contador lit up the Telegraphe climb to set off an exciting day of racing.

Would they decide who between them is the real leader? Would Alberto Contador falter or would he stage a coup? Could Cadel Evans and Ivan Basso once again demonstrate their strength and confidence? Is it up to Sammy Sanchez once again to take advantage of the negative racing, or is it up to Jelle Vanendert? Or, would it be the breakaway stage...Continue Reading
