Overall favourite Cadel Evans claimed the yellow jersey atop the summit of the Hautacam mountain, as Italian climber Leonardo Piepoli took a maiden Tour de France victory in stage ten. Luxembourg’s Frank Schleck joined Cobbo and Piepoli on the final ascent, but was unable to keep pace with them and ultimately finished third at 28 seconds back. Australia’s Evans (Silence-Lotto), who led Schleck by one minute and 50 seconds coming into Monday’s stage, managed the final HC Hautacam climb perfectly to finish with a group of favourites exactly 1’49″ behind Schleck.
Lo scalatore della Saunier Duval-Scott Leonardo Piepoli ha vinto la decima frazione del Tour de France precedendo il compagno di squadra Cobo. Riccò chiude al sesto posto. Evans nuova maglia gialla.
