US Postal and Voeckler's 'Bakery Boys' led the peloton. With 10 km to the finish Mercado and Garcia-Acosta attacked and made it away, they worked together into the final kilometre, Mercado just winning the sprint - his first ever stage win. The Tour began in Liège, Belgium with a prologue individual time trial on 3 July and Stage 10 occurred on 14 July with a hilly stage from Limoges. With about 100 km raced the peloton started to cut into the leaders' advantage and caught them three km from the start of the ascent of the Col d'Aspin. By the time the gap had been cut to 1'30" the chasing group had shrunk to just eleven, notables were Armstrong, Ullrich, Leipheimer, Mancebo and stage 12's winner Basso. Very quickly after the regrouping Jens Voigt and Juan Antonio Flecha broke away, they were joined by four others, but never got further than 20 seconds ahead and soon rejoined the US Postal led peloton. Rasmussen and Virenque were only 50" ahead. Parcours. A substantial group (a The trio extended their lead on the flatter part and had a 5'00" advantage over the Col de Core.

There were a number of other attacks, including a twelve-man attempt, but Lotto and Quickstep closed them down, the overall pace was high - over 45 km/h average in the second hour. Thomas Voeckler was over seven minutes back. The flat stages after mountains often have long breakaway winners as the main competitors recuperate.

Mayo came in 1'09" down, Ullrich 2'30", and Tyler Hamilton 3'27". Limoges-Saint-Flour. On the descent there were two nasty crashes out of the peloton by Matthias Kessler and Sebastian Hinault. After 30 km raced a four strong attack built up a little lead, the group pushed their lead out to 60 seconds over the first sprint but were pulled back to barely 15" soon afterwards. With two intermediate sprints and the finish line in Paris, there were plenty of opportunities for Thor Hushovd to take the lead. As on other mountain stages with a flat(ish) start an early break was allowed to get away.

Their advantage reached 7'50" at 90 km raced, fell back over the fourth climb, the Cote de Montsalvy, before rising again to over eight minutes. and low places (the best placed was 43rd) that there was no team wanting to chase. On the long climb up the Col de l'Echarasson, while the leaders were slowly caught, Ullrich attempted his own break, leading Armstrong by 40" as he went over the summit. There were seven categorised climbs, including four in the final 50 km with the additional cat-2 rise to the finish. Despite the wet road the descent was rapid and broke up the peloton. On the ascent of the cat-1 Col du Pas de Peyrol, after 135 km together, Merckx was dropped by Virenque. This group grew to seven before being caught on the second climb, the Cote de Therondels. After an hour in the lead and with 50 km to go their advantage was 10'50". Armstrong caught and dropped Sastre and led Basso under the 1 km mark. Their advantage peaked at around 12'00". He pulled further away over the Col de Carri but as Jens Voigt dropped back from his break-away group to assist Ivan Basso in defending his 2nd overall spot against Ullrich's attack, Armstrong's group quickly caught Ullrich before the sixth climb. After the usual early escape attempts the peloton split on the very first climb at 6.5 km, although they were soon back together. Counter-attacks were swallowed up by the US Postal and Brioches la Boulangere led peloton, but the foursome built their lead over the long approach to the Col d'Aspin to a maximum of just over four minutes.

Behind them the chasers joined up, forming a thirty-strong group including Voeckler, who had fought his way back. 10e étape - Île d'Oléron Le Château d'Oléron → Île de Ré Saint-Martin-de-Ré - Détail étape 10 Parcours Tracé Profil 10ème étape Tour de France 2020 Horaire Azevedo led the other two into the last 8 km before falling away, by 5 km to go the two leaders were 45" ahead of Totschnig (Azevedo was 1'40" behind). This 15.5 km stage was an individual time trial, including the 13.9 km up the twenty-one hairpin bends of the famous On this, the last big mountain stage, the drama started early on the As the stage wore on, US Postal led the peloton with typical skill, until the final climb, where the lead break consisted of Armstrong, Ullrich, Basso, Klöden, and Armstrong's support rider Floyd Landis. Over the eighth summit (Col d'Entremont) Virenque had a minute over Merckx and had maintained his advantage over the peloton. A group of four riders, including veteran climber Virenque and Merckx pulled further ahead over the third climb and by the second intermediate sprint were 8'05" clear. There were several attacks on the ascent and the riders were led over the summit by Mickael Rasmussen, who had a 5" lead over Christophe Moreau, Virenque was third.

The peloton came in 11'29" down led by Thor Hushovd. Rasmussen was quickly caught too, but Armstrong powered on and shed Totschnig and both the previous leaders. By the time Voight was caught, Armstrong's group was just four - himself, teammate Jose Azevedo, Georg Totschnig and Ivan Basso.

Ullrich came in 2'42" later, Voeckler was 13th at 4'42" and kept the yellow jersey by 22".

As the finish approached, cooperation among the ten fell apart and a series of attacks and chases split and rejoined the group. The group quickly started losing riders, again including Voeckler. Basso led out the last kilometre but in the final 100 m Armstrong passed him for his first stage win of the 2004 Tour and his 19th career Tour victory.

The leaders took an eight-minute advantage into the final 10 km and the attacks began from within the trio.

Voeckler, meanwhile, finally had his luck run out, finishing six minutes behind his nearest rival for the white jersey, Vladimir Karpets, who came in 8th in the time trial.

In the 15 km to the third climb they established a 1'50" gap. On the short descent, after 56 km raced, David Moncoutie and Egoi Martinez made a break, they were soon joined by Flecha and the trio managed to push their lead above 30 seconds and then further. Minutes after that group had been swept up seven more riders tried to get away, they were soon caught and again another four riders made an attack.
