MONTPELLIER: South African Robert Hunter of the Barloworld team won a wind-battered 11th stage of the Tour de France here on Thursday after 182km of drama-filled racing between Marseille and here. The 30-year-old won a sprint finish just ahead of Swiss Fabian Cancellara with Brazilian Murilo Fischer third. Denmark’s Michael Rasmussen, of Rabobank, kept his overall lead over his main rivals intact ahead of Friday’s 12th stage from Montpellier to Castres. On a day that provided the perfect conditions for some tactical bike racing, Rasmussen and the other four top-placed riders managed to escape being snared by a cunning move executed to perfection by Alexandre Vinokourov’s Astana team. AG2R team leader Christophe Moreau, who is aiming to finish in the top three overall, however fell victim, finishing the stage over three minutes down to take a significant drop in the general classification. — AFP
