Andy Schleck silenced his critics with a superb Tour de France stage 18 victory atop the Col du Galibier to move within 15 seconds of Thomas Voeckler’s yellow jersey. The Leopard Trek rider broke clear with a magnificent solo attack on the Col d’Izoard, the penultimate climb of the demanding 201km stage from Pinerolo, before riding to glory on the highest ever summit finish in Tour de France history. Frenchman Voeckler (Europcar) rallied to protect his yellow jersey by just 15 seconds – but the big loser of the day was reigning champion Alberto Contador (Saxo Bank) who cracked on the legendary Col de Galibier to finish almost four minutes behind his rival Schleck.
