German celebrations yesterday

Tony Martin broke away from the following riders with 59kms to go in the 9th stage of the Tour de France. The German rider won the gruelling 179km mountain stage in the Vosges, but French celebrations are also due as Tony Gallopin captured the race leader's yellow jersey and will wear it on the 14 July fete nationale.  The Italian rider Vincenzo Nibali did not contest Gallopin's breakaway as the Frenchman is considered to have no chance of overall victory, so Nibali stuck to his rival Contador.
Oh, and Germany won the World Cup.
