Tour de France 2012
Stage 18: Back to Flat: Pau - Coutras
A break of twelve stays ahead and falls apart into smaller groups...
Moinard, JMoreno and Txurruka will decide who wins today
... it's Moreno!
Henao goes down one place because of Kern's involvement in the adventure...
Svein Tuft was dropped from the bunch quite early and finished outside the time limit after having been involved in early attacks and thereafter having played the gregario.

When the ten leaders appear on the Champs Élysées it is becoming clear that the bunch won't catch them anymore
Their names:
Da Cruz, Lelay, Pardilla, Astarloza, Hulsmans, Orizio, Van Katwijk, Mazet, Samoilav ( 15th in the GC at 30'31" ) and Lloyd.
Van Katwijk is by far the fastest of the ten.
So Da Cruz, Samoilav, Astarloza and Lloyd attack in the final...
... and Da Cruz is the smartest of them all
The Pistolero has won three jerseys.
The only one left is the white one, taken home by Henao
The Colombian heroes are now involved in the Tour of Denmark where their Russian guest Rovny just grabbed the 6th place in the first stage.
Also, amongst others, the Tours of Poland, Portugal and l'Ain are coming up, various Italo classics and also the Eneco Tour.
Thereafter a reasonably strong CEP line up will be heading to Spain for the Vuelta (on a wild card...).
