Seven-times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong said yesterday's radio-silenced stage was the slowest he could remember after more than a decade of the competition. Britain's Mark Cavendish won his third stage claiming the 10th stage, while Italian Rinaldo Nocentini retained the overall leader's yellow jersey. Third-placed Armstrong said: "Stage 10 done, probably one of the more relaxed days I have experienced in ten plus Tours. Things got rolling at the end. My legs feel good." This was the first stage in years to be held entirely without radio communication. Astana team manager Johan Bruyneel said: "The reason behind having no radios was to have attractive racing but that didn't happen. If that's what they wanted to accomplish, it has been a failure and I think it's a bad idea to go back 20 years and do something like this stupidly in the biggest race of the year."
