REVEL, France -- Chris Froome had a relatively comfortable and quiet day in the yellow jersey. Cheap Air Max Plus 97 .The overall leader in the Tour de France finished safely in the peloton with all of his main rivals on Tuesday, nearly 10 minutes behind stage winner Michael Matthews of Australia.I wouldnt quite say easy. The start was pretty much straight up with a 22-kilometer (14-mile) climb, Froome said after the 10th stage. But once we dropped down from there it was pretty straightforward.Aiming for his third Tour victory in four years, Froome maintained a 16-second lead over fellow British rider Adam Yates.Dan Martin of Ireland was third overall, 19 seconds behind, and Nairo Quintana of Colombia was fourth, 23 seconds back.A two-time runner-up to Froome at the Tour, Quintana was watched carefully by Froome amid thick fog on the tricky descent from Port dEnvalira, the highest road in the Pyrenees at 2,408 meters (7,900 feet), and the highest point in this Tour.With that mist and not being able to see much, it could have been like the Giro a few years ago when Quintana slipped off the front, Froome said, referring to Quintanas downhill attack en route to his Giro dItalia victory in 2014. I was just keeping an eye on him.Froomes Sky teammates made sure that none of his rivals got in the early breakaway that included Matthews.The guys did a great job keeping me up front just in case things were to kick off. We were right there and ready for it if it did happen, Froome said. Tomorrow, were hoping for a similar day to today, another day we can tick off and get through without too much happening. Ventoux is definitely the next big thing we have our sights on now.After a mostly flat Stage 11, the next mountain-top finish comes on Thursday, Bastille Day, at the legendary Mont Ventoux. A day later, the races first time trial is over a hilly 37.5-kilometer (23.3 mile) course.Those are going to be two really important days for us, Froome said. Nairo has already said he wants to win on Ventoux so we can expect theyre going to give everything for that cause.Froome was also asked about mechanical doping, amid unprecedented checks for tiny, hidden motors in bikes.The more checks they do, the better everyone sleeps at night, Froome said. Someone would have to be pretty crazy to do it in the Tour de France, where they know theyll check for it every day.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf Air Max Plus Tn Wholesale .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras. Air Max Plus On Sale . Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork.

Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. COLUMBIA, Mo. - Four rushing touchdowns from freshman Damarea Crockett (Little Rock, Ark.) and 629 yards of offense werent enough to lead Mizzou to a Homecoming win Saturday night at Faurot Field, as Brent Stockstills four passing touchdowns led Middle Tennessee to a 51-45 victory.Crockett tallied his fourth score of the day to give Mizzou a 35-34 lead on Mizzous opening possession of the second half, becoming the first true freshman in Mizzou history to post a four-touchdown performance, and just the fifth Tiger, regardless of class, to ever rush for four touchdowns.After Middle Tennessee (5-2) stalled a Mizzou drive on its opening possession, the Blue Raiders went five plays in 84 yards for a score. The key play was a third-down conversion on a QB draw by Stockstill that went for 63 yards, setting the Red Raiders up in the red zone. Stockstill hit Dennis Andrews for a 15-yard strike to take an early 7-0 lead. Middle Tennessee then turned a Drew Lock (Lees Summit, Mo.) fumble into a 39-yard field goal, extending the lead to 10-0.Mizzou (2-5) countered with a seven-play, 79-yard drive, capped by a four-yard TD plunge by Crockett, who broke two tackles at the goal line, refusing to go down.

But a costly penalty on a long punt by Fatony forced Mizzou to kick again late in the quarter and a bad snap led to a turnover on downs and set Middle Tennessee up inside the 10. The Blue Raiders took advantage of the field position and scored on the first play to take a 34-28 lead into the intermission.After Crocketts fourth score, the Blue Raiders took the lead for good on the following drive on a four-yard pass from Stockstill to ITavius Mathers.
