Hunter claims stage 11 of Le Tour

South Africa`s Robbie Hunter won stage 11 of the Tour de France from Marseille to Montpellier.

The Barloworld rider secured glory by the smallest of margins ahead of the peloton after a crash in the final kilometre brought a dramatic end to the Tour`s quickest stage so far this year.

Denmark`s Michael Rasmussen maintained his hold on the yellow jersey with nine stages remaining by finishing comfortably within the peloton.

However, the day all but ended the host nation`s chances of glory in Paris as Christophe Moreau, sixth in the overall standings, finished three minutes and 20 seconds behind the main group following a separate crash early on in the race.
