Live Coverage: STAGE 1: Brest-Plumelec (197.5km)

• 05:26 PM: Voeckler
  apparently the Frenchman finished ahead of Schroeder and he gets the KOM jersey today.
  
  Looking ahead, tomorrow's stage from Auray to St. Brieuc (164.5km) heads north from the granite-and-slate cottages of Auray (population 12,000) to the port town of St. Brieuc (population 46,700), this shorter stage will likely see the peloton split by the frequent climbs and crosswinds. The crowds will be thickest on the Cat. 3 'wall' at Mur-de-Bretagne (1.5km at 8.7 percent), 92km into the stage, which could spring a key attack. The tricky run-in to St. Brieuc loops down to the English Channel coast before climbing up into town and features another uphill finish on the Rue Pierre de Coubertin.
  
  Until then, enjoy your day. We'll be back with Live Coverage of tomorrow's stage and every stage throughout the 95th Tour de France.

• 05:22 PM: And the points jersey
  Mr. Valverde also gets the green points jersey for today's win.
  
  We have to see who - Schroeder or Voeckler - gets the KOM jersey.
• 05:20 PM: Podium
  Valverde looks happy. He's on the podium and being congratulated by Bernard Hinault. He's got the flowers and is about to gt the first yellow jersey of the 2008 Tour.
• 05:15 PM: How's that for timing
  It's starting to rain.
  
  Man, looking at the replay, Valverde cam up from a long, long, long way back. That was an impressive charge and just rode some strong riders right off of his wheel.
• 05:08 PM: Nice ride
  Valverde put in an impressive final charge.
  
  The split in the field was pretty significant folks. About 50 riders have come through the line almost 2:00 back.
• 05:06 PM: Valverde
  comes charging up fast. He catches and .... wins! Valverde takes the stage and moves into the leader's jersey. Vaughters called it.
• 05:05 PM: He's caught and
  Cancellar and others are catching and another attack from Columbia's Kirchen is on the charge.
• 05:04 PM: Attack
  on the first kilometer and Schumacher is on the attack. He's got a gap.
• 05:03 PM: On the final climb
  1.5km to go and Columbia is still setting the pace at the front, but other teams are swarming.
• 05:02 PM: Forster
  overcooked a turn and did a bit of cyclocross. He's out of contention we'd bet
