SCHLECK SAVOURS FIRST EVER TOUR DE FRANCE YELLOW JERSEY

Frank Schleck Tour 2008

Frank Schleck (CSC) was almost in tears after he pulled on his first ever yellow jersey after the finish of a dramatic stage in Prato Nevoso.

Schleck was not able to stay with team mate Carlos Sastre, Denis Menchov (Rabobank), Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d?Epargne) but gained nine precious seconds on Evans to pull on his first ever yellow jersey and now leads Bernhard Kohl by seven seconds, with Cadel Evans third at eight seconds.
