Tour de France, Stage 19. Pierre Rolland delights in taking France’s first stage win In a day that saw the yellow jersey change hands from Voeckler to Andy Schleck, you would expect the French to be in mourning. If not for the young Europcar domestique they might well have been. Rolland has worked, and worked, and worked for every minute of every day that his team leader has Thomas Voeckler held onto the yellow jersey. At one point during today’s stage, Voeckler told Rolland “it was over” and to “go for the win”, and he did just that. Chapeau! As for the GC contenders, well it’s all changed. The Schleck’s are into first and second -  youngest first - with Cadel Evans breathing down Frank’s neck in third. The big money’s on Cadel to out time trial both, and he has around 57s to make up on Andy to take the yellow jersey. I wouldn’t put it past him but I have a sneaky feeling about Frank’s chances.
