American cyclist Floyd Landis' gambit to let another rider's team lead the Tour de France peloton worked — at least for Tuesday — as he climbed back into the lead on the slopes of fabled l'Alpe d'Huez.
Now it's his beleaguered Phonak team's turn to control the race as it struggles through two more days in the Alps before the final time trial on Saturday and Sunday's finish in Paris. …

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong visited his former teammates in Gap before the start of Tuesday's first day in the Alps.
There's nothing like a visit from the champ to inspire the troops. Long-time Discovery teammate George Hincapie went right out Tuesday morning and joined a breakaway 23 miles into the race …

Did American cyclist Floyd Landis make a mistake by letting Oscar Pereiro take the yellow jersey?
Five-time Tour de France winner Bernard Hinault seems to think so, while others say giving the Phonak team a rest was a smart move. I guess we'll find out Tuesday when the peloton begins three days in the Alps on the way to its grand finish in Paris on Sunday. …

Stage winner Pierrick Fedrigo and Salvatore Commesso raced into Gap as the survivors of a war of attrition against the breakaway, which at one time numbered six Tour de France cyclists.
Oscar Pereiro held onto the yellow jersey, with his Caisse d'Epargne team laboring in the heat over the climbs while American Floyd Landis' Phonak team had an easier time in the peloton. …

Some 9,000 cyclists of all shapes, sizes and ages left early Saturday morning for the 27th annual Seattle to Portland bike ride.
This 200-mile bike ride a big event in the Northwest; many newspapers along the route are filing stories about the ride, as are bloggers.
The participants ride for many reasons. The Seattle Times reports that one of them, Gordon Gill, is riding to honor his uncle, Robert Gill of Edmonds, who was killed in a collision with a tour bus while bicycling last year in New Zealand. …

Oscar Pereiro, left, and Jens Voigt made the most of a 129-mile breakaway Saturday; Pereiro winning the yellow jersey and Voigt winning the Tour de France's longest stage.
Maybe not so much that Pereiro won the yellow; it was pretty much handed to him by Floyd Landis and his Phonak team after they tired of driving the peloton Saturday and probably didn't relish the thought of keeping up that effort on Sunday. …
