Vasseur enjoys home win

Frenchman Cedric Vasseur claimed the host nation's first victory of this year's Tour de France by securing glory on stage 10 from Tallard to Marseille.

The Quick Step rider was part of a five-man group which launched the decisive attack with 32 kilometres remaining on the second longest stage of this year's Tour to finish over 10 minutes ahead of the peloton.

The result had no bearing on the overall leaders, with Denmark's Michael Rasmussen maintaining his two minute, 35 second lead over Spaniard Alejandro Valverde and strengthening his grip on the yellow jersey at the halfway stage of the race.
