Rolland wins Tour de France 11th stage

France's Pierre Rolland won the 11th stage of the Tour de France, a 148-km mountain trek from Albertville on Thursday.

"I'd been dreaming about this stage for six months," said Rolland, who became the second successive stage winner from France after Thomas Voeckler's victory on Wednesday.

France's Thibaut Pinot was second and Briton Christopher Froome was third.

Briton Bradley Wiggins retained the overall leader's yellow jersey.

Wiggins leads by just over two minutes from team-mate Froome after defending champion Cadel Evans cracked on the final climb to slip to fourth.
