Stage 3 of Route du Sud had the same Port de Bales climb and descent finish into Bagneres-de-Luchon as the 2010 Tour de France. I imagine that there weren't this many people for the Route du Sud stage ;-)		share this photo
You may recall from last year's race, that Port de Bales is where Andy Schleck, while wearing the Yellow Jersey, dropped his chain and ultimately lost the Tour de France. More photos from stage 15 of the 2010 Tour de France		share this photo

We don't usually see Vasil Kiryenka (Movistar) smile, but he's now the new race leader by a healthy 43s over Davide Rebellin (Miche-Guerciotti) with one flat stage remaining. Previous race leader Anthony Charteau was 18th today + 2:45 and slipped to 10th overall.		share this photo
