Frank Schleck (CSC-Saxo Bank) sensationally out-rode Cadel Evans (Silence-Lotto) in today's first Alpine Tour de France stage to gain the race lead and coveted yellow jersey.

All of the main general classification contenders formed an elite group, playing cat and mouse up the final climb of the day. Evans attempted to police every move made by Frank Schleck, but with CSC-Saxo Bank team-mates Carlos Sastre and brother Andy Schleck on hand to help, Evans found himself isolated.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
