4th Yellow Jersey for CSC

Frank Schleck becomes the fourth Team CSC-Saxo Bank rider to wear the prestigious yellow jersey at the Tour de France. Since the team’s inception, the squad has always been one of the aggressors of the race, but taking the yellow jersey didn’t come to fruition until Dave Zabriskie in 2005. The American beat seven-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong in the opening time and held it for four days. Jens Voigt became the second to wear the jersey, taking it for one day later in that same Tour before falling ill. Fabian Cancellara wore it for a week last year after taking the opening prologue. Schleck, meanwhile, is the first to take it so deep in the race.
