Today we received more drama and controversy from a Tour that’s been anything but uninteresting.  Thomas Voeckler took France’s second consecutive Pyrenean victory—the first win in a Tour for the French Champion since Jacky Durand in 1994. But while Voeckler was enjoying his day in the sun, Andy Schleck and Alberto Contador were continuing their … Continue reading
