Bobby Julich in yellow leader's jersey in Paris-Nice.

Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 10:32 AM by HuckleB

Stage five is just completed, and American Bobby Julich will put on the yellow jersey. He has a 20 second lead with two stages to go.

Gilberto Simoni took the stage, though he's well down in the GC, so no one made chase when he took off on the final climb.

More when it comes in.

4. Thank goodness someone recognized this!

Bobby kicked some butt in a big, big race! So he's not Lance Armstrong, and so it's not the Tour de France. This is a huge accomplishment. I just wish that more Americans understood that.

Woo hoo!
