One day...that's how long the riders on the 2009 Tour de France get to rest before they get back on their bikes and race from Limoges to Issoudun, France for stage 10 of the race.
Stage 10 is a somewhat rolling and hilly 194.5 Kilometer stage and will most likely make for an early breakaway coming on the heals of a rest day. It also happens to fall on Bastille Day in France so look for some celebration and fun along the way
Will the sprinters have their day once again?
