Fabian Cancellara back in yellow! Thor Hushovd claims today's cobbled stage. Team Saxo Bank's Cancellara and Andy Schleck led a break that put a minute into Alberto Contador and 2 minutes into Lance Armstrong. Armstrong was hanging with Contador until he got a flat. Although Team Saxo Bank had an impressive showing today, Frank Schleck crashed out of the race due to a suspected broken collarbone.
