BELLEGARDE-SUR-VALSERINE, France — A brief look at Wednesday’s 10th stage of the 99th Tour de France:

Stage: A 120.9-mile ride from Macon to Bellegarde-sur-Valserine in the French Alps. The route took riders over three classed climbs, the category-3 Col de Richmond, the category-2 Cote de Corlier, and Col du Grand Colombier, which is beyond categorizing.

Winner: Thomas Voeckler of France, who claimed his third career Tour stage win and captured the polkadot jersey for the best climber from Sweden’s Frederik Kessiakoff. Italy’s Michele Scarponi was second, 3 seconds behind. Jens Voigt of Germany was third, 7 seconds off the pace.

Yellow Jersey: Bradley Wiggins’ bid to become the first British winner of the Tour goes on, maintaining his lead of 1 minute, 53 seconds from Australian rival Cadel Evans. Wiggins’ teammate, Chris Froome, stayed third, 2:07 behind.

Horner watch: Bend’s Chris Horner finished the stage in 34th place for team RadioShack-NIssan. He is 22nd overall, 9 minutes, 45 seconds behind Wiggins.

Stat of the day: 1. As in the first time that the Tour de France climbed the Col du Grand Colombier pass, a 10.9-mile ascent considered one of the toughest in pro cycling, due in part to two tough patches that feature steep 12 percent gradients.

Today’s stage: A 92-mile trek from Albertville to La Toussuire that sends riders over two beyond category climbs, Col de la Madeleine and Croix de Fer, then the category-2 Col du Mollard before finishing on category-1 La Toussuire, an 11-mile climb with an average gradient of 6.1 percent.
