Wednesday's 230km stage fron Cholet to Chateauroux looks taylor-made for the spinters. Semi-flat, no big climbs...and their last chance before they hit the hills on Thursday.

Will it be Robbie McEwen or Mark Cavendish at the line? Or can Thor Hushovd claim another stage win in the '08 Tour?

Here's a preview, from the official Tour de France channel:

The lead photo of time trial winner, and new overall Tour leader Stefan Schumacher, carries the headline, "Comme Un Tour En F 1"..."Like A Tour Out of F 1."

And check out the advert below the photo. Yep...that's Cadel Evans in the ad for the "Silence" anti-snoring aid.

The time trial is called "the race of truth" and the truth is, no one expected this today.

Gerolsteiner rider Stefan Schumacher takes the TT title today in Cholet, and grabs the overall lead after four days of the Tour de France.

The TT shakes up the standings, and the biggest loser has to be Alejandro Valverde. The Spanish star won the first stage and wore the yellow jersey earlier this week, but he loses nearly a minute and a half to the leader today.

The biggest winner...Aussie Cadel Evans. A solid 4th place today put him in perfect position for the rest of the race.

Tuesday's cover of the French sporting daily celebrates one Frenchman winning the Monday stage, and another donning the maillot jaune.

The headline: "Entre Ici, Dumoulin!"..."Enter Here, Dumoulin!"

But the celebration could be short-lived. The first time trial of the Tour is set to go on Tuesday. A possible shake-up awaits.

A four-man all-day break came down to a three-man sprint in Nantes. French rider Samuel Dumoulin takes the stage win...countryman Romain Feillu is the new overall leader...but the story of the day is Garmin-Chipotle's Will Frischkorn.

He came into the day ranked #122 in the general classification. He ends the day second in the stage, and third overall after three days of the Tour de France.

Nadal's win over Federer at Wimbledon is the featured photo, and the Tour de France is relegated to secondary coverage in Monday's edition of L'Equipe.

The sub-head says, "Un Viking Chez Les Bretons"...translated to English, "A Viking at the Bretons."

Norwegian strongman Thor Hushovd, riding for the French Credit Agricole team, charges to the front in the final meters, winning today's bunch sprint into Saint Brieuc.

Alejandro Valverde is right in the thick of things at the finish, keeping him in the yellow jersey for yet another day of the '08 Tour.

A four-man all-French break lead for 161 of the 165km of racing...but they were swallowed up by the hard-charging peloton in the approach to the line.

Stage 1 of the 2008 Tour de France is in the books, and Alejandro Valverde claims the yellow jersey in Plumelec.

The headline in Sunday's L'Equipe: "Valverde, Duc de Bretagne"

In English" "Valverde, Duke of Brittany"...let's see how they duke it out in Stage 2 on Sunday.

Spanish national champ Alejandro Valverde rules the day, and dons the yellow jdersey, on the opening stage of the 2008 Tour de France.

The Caisse d'Epargne captain timed his push perfectly, rolling past Columbia's Kim Kirchen in the last 100 meters of the race today in Plumelec.

Watch the final kilometer of today's race...check out the crowds, and watch Valverde cruise past Kirchen:

Bravo, Alejandro...but there are still 20 more days to go.
