Sastre Powers Through Mountains and Into Tour Yellow

The CSC rider Carlos Sastre led a Spanish 1-2 in today's grueling mountain stage of the Tour de France, assuming the overall race leader's yellow jersey from his team-mate Frank Schleck. Samuel Sanchez, of the Euskaltel team, finished second, with Luxembourg's Andy Schleck third, although the time-trial specialist Cadel Evans remains the favorite for overall success in Paris at the weekend.
