Tour de France Stage 13 Results: Heinrich Haussler Breaks Away to Capture Stage Victory, Nocentini Holds Yellow Jersey

Heinrich Haussler managed to capture the Stage 13 124-mile trek of the Tour de France on Friday after launching a solo breakaway late in the race.

Haussler handled the cold and wet conditions with little trouble as he finished more than seven minutes ahead of the main pack. In that pack was overall leader Rinaldo Nocentini who will retain the yellow jersey.

Joining Nocentini in the main pack was Alberto Contador who remains in second and seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong who remains in third, eight seconds behind the leader.
