Maillot Jaune Cancellara jumps clear
Race leader Fabian Cancellara jumped clear of the peloton in the final kilometre of today's 236.5 run from Belgium to Compiègne, France. The 26 year-old Swiss, winner of the Prologue in London, blasted past the day's four-man escape (Willems, Augé, Ladagnous and Vogondy) in his Maillot Jaune after the race competed its final turn onto the streets that start the Classic Paris-Roubaix.
CSC's Cancellara held off the oncoming sprint led by Erik Zabel (Milram) over Danilo Napolitano (Lampre-Fondital), Tom Boonen (Quickstep-Innergetic) and Robert Hunter (Barloworld). He retained his race lead and even added to it with the bonus seconds gained on the line.
