Lance still in yellow as Guerini claims stage

Italian Giuseppe Guerini produced an exceptional display of tactical riding to claim victory on the 153km 19th stage of the Tour de France but Lance Armstrong maintained control of the overall lead.

Guerini, a T-Mobile rider, was part of a four-man group including Oscar Pereiro, Franco Pellizotti and Sandy Casar who broke clear of the peloton after 30km and never looked back.
