HOW OTHERS FARED: Team CSC finished second; T-Mobile placed third, 30 seconds back; Liberty Seguros finished fourth, 40 seconds behind.
YELLOW JERSEY: Armstrong took the yellow jersey from Team CSC rider David Zabriskie, the American who wore the jersey after the first three stages but who crashed and slipped to ninth overall.
