Germany's Andre Greipel outsprinted British rival Mark Cavendish to claim his maiden Tour de France victory in the 158km 10th stage between Aurillac and Carmaux yesterday.
Frenchman Thomas Voeckler of the Europcar team retained the race leader's yellow jersey by one minute 49sec on Spaniard Luis Leon Sanchez of Rabobank.
In one of the few remaining sprint stages of the race Greipel took full advantage of Cavendish losing his formidable sprint 'train' in the final kilometres.
