Team Europcar wins Stage 19!

Although Thomas Voeckler was not able to retain the yellow jersey after today's brutal climbing stage, Team Europcar was still in the highlights. Pierre Rolland took home stage 19 today after some tough attacks delivered by Alberto Contador.

The French celebrate today as Pierre Rolland is the first French rider since Bernard Hinault back in 1986 to win the L'Alpe d'Huez! The second Voeckler knew he was no longer keeping the yellow jersey, he gave Rolland the signal to go ahead, and Pierre did just that. On top of taking home a historic stage win, he gained the points to be in the White Jersey at the finish.
