No change at the top in France as Roche slips back

The Tour de France's overall favourites fought out a stalemate on the final day in the Pyrenees as Belgium's Jelle Vanendert claimed victory at Plateau de Beille.

Vanendert, who began the day 12 minutes 54 seconds behind race leader Thomas Voeckler (Europcar), who retained the yellow jersey for a seventh day, triumphed on the 168.5-kilometre route from Saint-Gaudens.
