Stage 9 Results

Rider highlights were Froome and Van Garderen, and the best possible score today would have been to combine those two with Wiggins. Nobody quite managed that degree of prescience, but 8 DS's did sweep the podium with Wiggins-Froome-Cancellara, giving us an 8-way tie for the stage win.

It's tight at the top of the GC, with andrewp holding on to the casquette jaune by less than a point. Strong moves from tgartner up into second place and vino2001 up into 3rd place.
