Alejandro Valverde lost the yellow jersey of the Tour

It is normal in these weeks. He also lost the jersey Lance Armstrong once took him from the beginning.

And it is to lose the yellow jersey in these stages is logical. The big favorites are not the first few days to shred the legs. The escapees are not going to win a Tour (Oscar Pereiro won, but that escape was the second longest in Tour history and then showed his skills on the mountain, led no doubt by the punch that gives the jersey).

The stage was conducive to the sprinter, as we said in the morning, but finally won a trip that was formed at the beginning of the stage. The passivity of the bunch led the arrival of three riders who left as yellow jersey Romain Feillu of France home.

Most noteworthy in view of the general was cut that took place in the squad and he was very supportive of Valverde, who entered the goal at 2:03 minutes, by putting more than 30 seconds apart to Denis Menchov, a man Always keep in mind. I got so many to Ricco. However, Cadel Evans continues to a second Murcia. Carlos Sastre is 6 seconds behind him overall.

Tomorrow, individual time trial that will lay the groundwork for the race. In fact, should have been the protagonist of the first differences, but today's stage was finally a little crazy.
