Miguel Indurain of Spain, celebrating his 31st birthday, retained his yellow jersey as overall leader after finishing third, 2 minutes, 31 seconds behind Pantani, the same time as second-placed Laurent Madouas of France. Indurain, bidding for his fifth successive Tour de France victory, widened his lead slightly over Switzerland's Alex Zulle in the overall standings. Zulle came home fourth, two seconds behind Indurain, but ahead of Italian Ivan Gotti and Denmark's Bjarne Riis. Local hero Laurent Jalabert, who had climbed to third place overall after suffering an accident early on in the race, finished seventh Sunday, 3 minutes, 24 seconds behind the winner and slipped further back. It was the second stage win in this year's tour for Pantani, 25, after taking Wednesday's stage in the Alps. The 99-mile stage from St. Orens de Gameville to Guzet Neige was run under fog and drizzle. .
