Where did the hundreds of people supporting the Tour on the Cime de la Bonnette-Restefond park today? Europe's highest road and the narrow road was lined with cheering spectators - another amazing stage.
In his first year as a professional cyclist, 21 year old South African cyclist John-Lee Augustyn of Barloworld was first over the summit but misjudged a turn on the descent and fell over the edge of the road on a sharp corner, sliding down the mountain at a very steep point- luckily he was unhurt and finished 35th.
