World Champion Paolo Bettini (in white and rainbow) picked the wrong line in the corner and was forced to brake, ruining his chances in the sprint. |

High Road lights up the jets for the sprint. Notice that Alberto Contador (in Pink) has positioned himself well to the front in the sprint in order to avoid trouble. |

Astana stayed very close to Contador, who has Leipheimer right on his wheel. I just noticed the pink handlebar tape on Contador's bike and red on Leipheimer's. Nice touch. |

Mark Cavendish eased slightly in the final meters to allow his leadout man, Andre Greipel, to take the stage win. |
