Hunter bags stage victory. Win is a first for South Africa
South Africa's Robert Hunter exults as he crosses the finish line first in the 11th stage of the Tour de France.
By Jamey Keaten, Associated Press | July 20, 2007
MONTPELLIER, France -- After six years in the Tour de France, Robert Hunter finally won one for South Africa.
"I'm really happy. I have no words to describe what I'm feeling right now," Hunter said.
"I'm hoping it will boost the sport in South Africa to get more young riders up to the professional level in Europe."
Hunter won the 113.4-mile 11th stage from Marseille to Montpellier in 3 hours 47 minutes 50 seconds, outpacing second-place Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland and Murilo Fischer of Brazil in third. The main pack of riders finished in the same time.
It was the second stage win for Hunter's Barloworld team. Juan Mauricio Soler of Colombia took the ninth stage Tuesday.
Rasmussen retained his lead over his main rivals for the yellow jersey. He is 2:35 ahead of second-place Alejandro Valverde and 2:39 in front of Iban Mayo in third.
With about 40 miles left, Alexandre Vinokourov's Astana team accelerated, splitting the main pack in two -- leaving France's Christophe Moreau and the small group trailing far behind.
The Tour will head into the medium-sized mountains today for the 12th stage, taking riders on a 110.9-mile jaunt from Montpellier to Castres, a stage likely to favor breakaway riders.
The next big test is likely to come tomorrow with the first of two individual time trials in and around the town of Albi. Three days in the Pyrenees mountains loom at the start of the third week before the July 29 finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
The Tour was dealt a blow Wednesday after Germany's cycling federation said Patrik Sinkewitz, who dropped out of the race after a crash last weekend, had tested positive for high levels of testosterone in a surprise doping test last month.
"There's nothing right in what happened. It's something that the sport needs to get over," Hunter said. "Unfortunately, you are going to have stupid people in the world that are going to try to take advantage of the situation.
" But at the end of the day, cycling is the most controlled sport in the world."
