Lance Armstrong is sitting in 18th place after 5 stages, a little bit over 615 miles and just over 23 hours ridden. He is only 2 minutes and 30 seconds behind yellow jersey occupant Fabian Cancellara. Cancellara has never won the Tour de France but has won many stages and has been in contention for several years. This year's Tour is heavy in mountain stages which will play into Armstrong's favor. There have been great attacks in this race so far which has a long way to go. Today's attack got up to an 8 minute break before getting wrapped up by the peloton by the end of the race. The rest of Team Radioshack is not too far behind with Levi Leipheimer +23" on Lance with Janez Brajkovic and Andeas Kloden less than 10 seconds behind Levi. Overall Team Radioshack is 11th among the 22 teams participating in the Tour this year. With many more miles to go this is still anyone's race.
