Richard Virenque, France's most popular rider, always seems to find a way reinvent himself in the Tour De France. Two years ago, Virenque broke through with a solo stage win on Le Mont Ventoux in his native Provence and last year took another prestigious stage win at the Tour De France in Morzine, donning the maillot jaune last Quatorze Juillet on the stage to l'Alpe d'Huez. Quatorze Juillet is France's national day and over 50 million French people expect the fireworks and Tour De France ` to be part of their celebration. Today in Saint Flour, after a 202km break, 65km of it solo, Virenque became the 14th French rider to win a stage on the greatest day for La France. But despite the popular acclaim today after his seventh career Tour stage win, Stage 10 ended among tears from Virenque and recriminations from his breakaway partner Axel Merckx, who was not pleased with the way things ended today.

At the end of an emotional day, Virenque crossed the finish line today looking up and with both index fingers pointing skyward, saying the name "Chabi". In a tearful post-race interview with France TV, Virenque dedicated his stage to his close friend, the late Joel Chabiron, former manager of the Festina team made infamous by Willy Voet's book as the man who organized the doping program for the team. "I was really just hanging on at the end of the stage today...so to win was really nice for me and the team. I want to dedicate this win today to two people; Joel Chabiron, who recently passed away (Chabiron died of HIV) and my Mamilu (Virenque's grandmother, who passed away during the Dauphine Libéré, preventing him from attending her funeral). I was cramping all over in the final today but I thought of both of them a lot and I wanted to win for them."

For his part, Merckx complained bitterly after Stage 10 that Virenque had not abided by the agreement they had made once the lead duo realized that they could likely get to Saint-Flour ahead of the rest of the Tour peloton. "There wasn't a whole lot I could do, (once Virenque attacked)," said Merckx. "On the first category climb, Richard went stronger. We had agreed that he was going to take all the points for the mountains jersey then afterwards we would fight for the finish here and not before. But I guess he has a hard time keeping his word."

How it unfolded

172 riders took the start today in Limoges for the long, tough stage across the Massif Central to Saint Flour with nine categorized climbs. After a fast start as has been the rule in this hard-fought edition of the Tour De France, Danilo Hondo (Gerolsteiner) attacked before the first sprint in La Croisille-Sur-Briance, provoking a break by 10 riders that contained Axel Merckx and Richard Virenque. Hondo took the sprint and with the day's first climb just ahead, Merckx and Virenque attacked the break just as USPS was closing down their lead.

Virenque took the first of his 9 KOM's today on the Cat. 4 Mont Gargan, with the peloton chasing at 0'30. With little interest in either rider for the GC, Armstrong told the Postal boys to back off and at the 50 km mark when feeding started from the vehicles, the front duo was off to the races across the constantly up and down terrain of the Correze region. After 55 km, the Virenque/Merckx duo had 2'00 on the peloton, now led by maillot jaune Thomas Voeckler's Brioches la Boulangère team.

Virenque's "Operation Maillot Pois" was now well underway and the 34 year old Quick.Step rider who has already won the polka dot tunic six times was about start a day that saw him take an incredible 68 KOM points by winning every climb of the day, catapulting him into the climbing lead at the 2004 Tour de France.

With their lead over 10'00 on the peloton after the steep Cote De Chalvignac with 100km to go, the two front runners were looking better and better with every kilometre ridden to last all the way to Saint Flour. Up the long gradual climb to the Cat 2 Col de Neronne, Merckx and Virenque worked well together, but the steep climb of the Col du Pas de Peyrol awaited on the other side of the ridge at the summit of the Massif de Cantal. Halfway up the steep ascent with 65km to go to Saint-Flour and the peloton almost 11'00 behind, Virenque surprisingly bid adieu to Merckx and went solo. Merckx struggled valiantly to keep in contact with Virenque, but the flying Frenchman rode a wall of human emotion and adulation from the huge crowds lining Puy Mary.

As the peloton scaled the steep 5.5 km ascent, there was a split behind while the order over the summit 9'00 behind Virenque was Menchov and Mancebo (IBB), maillot jaune Voeckler (BLB), Ullrich (TMB), Rasmussen (RAB), Armstrong and Azevedo (USP), Scarponi (DV) and Sastre (CSC). On the wide open descent down to Murat, Kessler (TMB) and Hinault crashed, Kessler got back on his bike and continued, while Hinault abandoned due to injuries. It was later found that Kessler had cracked a rib while Hinault had a fractured vertebrae.

Virenque flew up the penultimate ascent of the day 6'50 ahead of the soft pedaling Merckx on the Col d'Entremont, who was absorbed with 30 km to go on the descent of the day's final climb, the Col De Prat de Boucq (Plomb Du Cantal). An inspired Virenque powered away across the tiny farm roads leading into the final steep 1 km ascent to Saint-Flour to finish 5'19 ahead of runner-up, German champion Andreas Klöden (T-Mobile). Phonak rider Tyler Hamilton, perhaps distracted by the terminal illness of his beloved Labrador retriever Tugboat, lost 0'07 on the final climb into town, along with Menchov, Julich, Simoni and Aitor Gonzalez. Axel Merckx stayed with the front group until the final ascent, where he lost almost a minute on the steep final ramp to Saint-Flour.

Stage 11 - July 15: Saint Flour-Figeac, 164 km

The second half of the Tour de France starts with this short, hard stage that cuts against the grain at the base of the Massif Central from Saint Flour across Cantal, Ayveyron and into Lot for a finish in Figeac, which hosts its first ever stage. ` This is one of the shortest stages in the Tour, but with corrugated terrain across south` central France to challenge the Tour peloton, Stage 11 is a perfect place for attacks by opportunistic riders looking for a stage win before the Pyrenees start Friday. Mid-stage is the 8km climb of the Cat 2 Cote de Montsalvy with an average grade of 6%, a perfect place for an attack Thursday.
