The Tour de France entered the Alps today for the first of three mountain stages, and that has turned out pretty well for American rider, Floyd Landis. Landis finished fourth in stage 15, but that was enough to give him the Yellow Jersey for now. The stage 15 winner was Frank Schleck [Luxemburg-CSC], with Damiano Cunego [Italy-Lampre] finishing second and Stefano Garzelli [Italy-Liquigas] finishing third. Landis finished fourth, 1:10 minutes behind the stage winner. Here is how the tour now stands:
