Frank schlek with a great win in the first alpes stage, Landis in yellow

Great effort by Frank schleck from team CSC to break away from Damian Cunego and win the first stage in the alpes. Cunego, schlek and Mazzoleni formed a trio that had up to 3'30'' ahead of the maillot jaune.
Questionable tactics by TMO holding back Mazzoleni and not allowing him to go for the stage win in order to help Kloden who was a minute behind.
Landis, Kloeden and Sastre made up to 1'30 on perreiro and now Landis holds the yellow jersey with a slight advantage of 5'' on perreiro.
Boonen has quit the tour during this stage, leaving Mcewen even more favourite for the green jersey
