Austria's Georg Totschnig of the Gerolsteiner team won the 14th stage of the Tour de France here on Saturday on the first day of three in the Pyrenees. American Lance Armstrong retained the race leader's yellow jersey he is aiming to win for a seventh consecutive time ahead of his retirement, when the race ends on July 24, after finishing second at just under a minute.
Italian Ivan Basso finished a few metres behind, with another yellow jersey contender, 1997 winner Jan Ullrich, finishing at around 10secs behind Armstrong.
Totschnig meanwhile wins his first Tour de France stage at the age of 33.
