ST DIZIER (France): Jean-Patrick Nazon (pic) brought an end to his nightmares about watching the Tour de France on television after becoming the first French rider since Jerome Simon in 2001 to pull on the race's yellow jersey following yesterday's 167.5km third stage from Charleville to here.
The 26-year-old, who was on the verge of falling into a depression while watching the 2002 renewal on television, replaced Australian Bradley McGee – who rides for the fdjeux.com team that let Nazon go last year – in the overall lead ahead of today's fourth stage team time trial.
