The 34-year-old Russian did it the hard way, the day's efforts clearly visible after crossing the line in the capital of the Doubs départment. Off the front for most of the 200 kilometres of today's journey from Colmar, Ivanov timed his late-stage attack perfectly to take Katusha's first Tour triumph.With 20 kilometres of the stage run, 13 riders went clear. Hayden Roulston (Cervélo Test Team), Jens Voigt (Team Saxo Bank), Martijn Maaskant (Garmin-Slipstream), George Hincapie (Team Columbia-HTC), Nicolas Roche (AG2r La Mondiale), Daniele Bennati, Frederik Willems (Liquigas), Christophe Le Mevel (Française des Jeux), Sebastian Minard (Cofidis), Daniele Righi (Lampre), Serguei Ivanov (Team Katusha), Gerard Ciolek (Team Milram) and Albert Timmer (Skil-Shimano). Despite the quality of the break, Ivanov's power and experience shone through, launching the decisive attack with 11 kilometres remaining and quickly built a 30-second advantage which he was able to desperately preserve to take Tour win number two and the first for his fledgling Russian squad
