German rider Marcus Burghardt gave Team Columbia their fifth stage win of the Tour de France in Saint-Etienne, outsprinting Quick Step's Carlos Barredo after a cagey finish.

Burghardt and Barredo escaped after 68 kilometres of the 196-kilometre 18th stage from Bourg d'Oisans and stayed clear of a chase group of Christophe Le Mevel (Credit Agricole), Romain Feillu (Agritubel) and Mikel Astarloza (Euskaltel) to contest the finish.
