HOW TO VOTE
You can vote for the one articles (one from the single intermediate sprint in this case) you’d like to see proceed in the Tour by commenting in the comments section below and telling which are your favorites.
I’ve listed a keyword after each post title to make it easy to vote (as a made-up example, you can just comment: Sprint 1: Mutual, etc.) Be sure to comment which one you like the best out of each set of two! Criteria for the best article is completely up to you, but you can use these factors as a guide: 1) post of your favorite blogger, 2) most interesting post, 3) most thought-provoking post, 4) most unique post, or 5) most actionable post.
Here are today’s competitions (Sprints 1-2 of Stage 11 went live earlier today, so be sure to cast your vote for those as well!):
Voting will continue until July 14th for this Stage!

TOUR DE FRANCE DAILY RECAP
In the finish, the amazing young Frenchmen, Pierre Roland, took out the win after launching a decisive breakaway 11 km out on the last climb of the day. Cadel Evans really cracked on the final climb, and is now down to 4th overall. Bradley Wiggins remains in the yellow jersey. My money is on him to take out the overall win in Paris.
