Valiant Voeckler's fairytale lives on!

Thomas Voeckler has been the sensation of this Tour. The Frenchman has had the Yellow Jersey for over a week now and has rode fearlessly throughout. He's matched the big boys attack after attack and once more after writing himself off has hung on to the Yellow Jersey by 15" to Andy Schleck.

Schleck who broke on the second Col of the day took out a significant lead on all of the GC contenders. Voeckler has inspired this Tour and today was no different, Evans raised the pace but he hung in their and for that he has got his just rewards, another day in Yellow.

There is nothing lost in translation with Tommy Voeckler, his facial expressions say it all and his celebration at the summit was more celebrated that Schleck's winning fist pump. Chapeau Tommy, Chapeau!
