TOUR DE FRANCE

A brief look at yesterday's fifth stage of the Tour de France:

Stage: A 122.1-mile trek from Le Cap d'Agde to Perpignan along the Mediterranean coast.

Winner: French rider Thomas Voeckler of the BBox Bouygues Telecom team, in 4 hours, 29 minutes, 35 seconds, in a solo finish.

Yellow Jersey: Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland, who maintained his lead of a fraction of second over seven-time Tour champion Lance Armstrong.

Quote of the Day: "I told Alberto that today was going to be complicated, so maybe he sees that I know what is going on in the Tour de France" — Armstrong on teammate and potential title rival Alberto Contador, the 2007 Tour winner.

Next stage: The sixth stage takes riders into Spain for a 112.8-mile ride across plains along Gerona to Barcelona.
