Tour de France: Evans wears yellow shirt for the first time on his career

The Tour de France began on July the 5th and will end on July the 27^th, and it’s currently on it’s 10^th stage, which was comprised of 97 miles begining in Pau to end in Hautacam.

Australian Cadel Evans thought his run at the tour was over when he crashed yesterday at the first stage through the Pyrenees, but he got back on track the following day for a glorious personal moment: winning the stage and wearing the yellow shirt for the first on his career.

Evans belongs to the Duval-Scott team and this meant their third win on the current 95^th edition of the Tour de France.

The stage winners have been varied, with just Mark Cavendish (stages 5 adn 8) and Riccardo Ricco (stages 6 and 9) repeating twice.

The Tour de France is left 11 stages, and on stage 15, the tour will head to Italy to come back to France on stage 16.

As we all know the Astana Team, the one from the current title holder, Alberto Contador, was involved in a doping scandal last year, and due to that, either Contador or third-place Levi Leipheimer didn’t got the chance to compete at the 2008 version of the tour.

Currently Silence Lotto’s Cadel Evans is the overall leader, with Fränk Schleck of team CSC Saxo Bank going in second and american Christian Vandevelde of team Garmin-Chipotle in third.

More on the tour soon...
