Boonen gains yellow in Tour de France; Valverde is out
Belgium's Tom Boonen gained the yellow jersey by one-second as the Tour de France continued its race of attrition on Tuesday.
One of the major contenders, Alejandro Valverde, crashed out with a broken collarbone while cycling in the midst of the peloton. Earlier in the 3rd stage, American cyclist Fred Rodriguez (Davitamon-Lotto) and Erik Dekker (Rabobank) left the race after crashing. …

Tour de France in the blogosphere
A lot of cycling junkies, myself included, are blogging about the Tour de France. Here are some interesting posts I've come across recently.
The first is from a cyclist. I don't know the origin of this picture at the Bobby Julich blog. It's cool to see two of the decade's top American cyclists — competing on different teams — marking an historic event in cycling.
These are two of the peloton's workhorses over the years. Hincapie is racing his 11th Tour de France; Julich his 9th. …

Hushovd back in yellow at Tour de France; McEwen wins stage
Australian cyclist Robbie McEwen won the sprint in Esch-sur-Alzette to take the 2nd stage of the Tour de France on Monday, as Norway's Thor Hushovd regained the overall leader's yellow jersey from George Hincapie.
Pity poor Matthias Kessler, though. The T-Mobile rider attacked with about 3.5 miles to go, gaining a 15-second lead that he lost within sight of the finish line. George Hincapie sits in 4th, 10 seconds behind. …
