CARMAUX, France, July 12 (UPI) -- Andre Geipel nipped Mark Cavendish by a wheel length Tuesday and captured his first stage at the Tour de France
looking to grab his third stage victory of this year's Tour de France
took the lead but Geipel worked to the middle of the road and outkicked Cavendish to the end
Geipel finished the 98.2-mile route from Aurillac to Carmaux in 3 hours
A total of 81 of the 86 riders were given the same time
49 seconds up on Luis-Leon Sanchez and 2:26 ahead of Cadel Evans with Frank Schleck in fourth

Green jersey leader made the race hard to favour Greipel
After he instructed the few teammates he has left to accelerate on the last climb
he followed an attack by Tony Gallopin of Cofidis
and gave everything to make this breakaway a success during the last ten kilometres
but his action paved the way for Andre Greipel's victory at the expense of arch-rival Mark Cavendish
Gilbert kept the green jersey but lost 28 points to runner up José Joaquin Rojas
"Our tactic was to make the race hard at the end of the stage," Gilbert told Cyclingnews in Carmaux
"We wanted Cavendish to be dropped in the last hill
Greipel told us that he knew he would pass it with no problem
"It was a short climb and we rode really fast
so I attacked to make Cavendish's team to work
I even tried to win solo but it didn't happen
I didn't attack the other four guys who were with me," he said of race leader Thomas Voeckler
Quickstep's Dries Devenyns and HTC's Tony Martin
I couldn't resist to the bunch but it's all good at the end because we get the stage win for Omega Pharma-Lotto
The Belgian champion maintained that the green jersey isn't his priority compared to getting another stage win after the first one at the Mont des Alouettes in Vendée
"I haven't changed my attitude for the green jersey," he said
I don't snub the points' classification at all
I just follow the move to score some points
If it brings me the green jersey at the end
but I've always thought that winning a stage is my priority
I love to win and I often do it with panache
so I won't start calculating points instead."
Gilbert still found physical resources to cross the line in fourteenth position
