2013 Tour de France Stage 10 Results & Recap
Stage 10 of the 2013 Tour de France is in the books. The final results and standings are below, followed by our recap of how the race unfolded.
Race Recap
Marcel Kittel (Argos-Shimano) won his second stage of the Tour de France in Saint-Malo in a rapid bunch sprint after the 197km stage. The German topped his compatriot Andre Greipel, while Mark Cavendish was delayed by a tangle with Kittel's teammate in the final 100m and finished third.
Cavendish bounced Tom Dumoulin away as he opened up his sprint, and astonishingly enough, the Argos rider was the only one to fall even though his bike and body tumbled across the road in the middle of the bunch.
Kittel was simultaneously thrilled to win his second stage of the Tour, but also upset about the crash and concerned for his teammate.
"First I'm really happy we won the stage today, but on the other hand, Tom crashed at high speed and I hope he's OK.
"It's a bit up and down within one minute."
Kittel wore the maillot jaune for a day on stage 2, and with a pair of wins, the team has already gotten everything it wanted out of the race.
"I'm so so happy we've had such as successful Tour," Kittel said. "I'm proud of my boys, they did a great performance today. I'm hoping we can repeat that again, but from here on out it's about enjoying the Tour."
Chris Froome (Sky) stayed safe in the tricky and nervous final 20km and retained the race's maillot jaune of race leader.
