The first full week of racing at Le Tour de France has wrapped up and it's been an exciting week. The wild card teams have been working hard to show they belong. Agritubel has riders in every breakaway and the Argyle Armada holds the third position on the GC. Team Columbia has had a great first week, holding the yellow jersey, white jersey and green jersey. Alejandro Valverde kicked off the TdF with a strong win in the first leg to seize yellow setting his claim as the race favorite but when the time trial finished, it was Stefan Schumacher from Gerolsteiner who was in yellow. Ricardo Ricco stunned everyone with a strong showing on two of the first four climbing stages grabbing two stage wins. After ten stages, the top five riders are separated by less than 60 seconds.
