Voeckler wins stage 5 of Tour; Lance 2nd overall

Thomas Voeckler of France has claimed a solo victory in the fifth stage of the Tour de France, a 122-mile ride from Le Cap d'Agde to Perpignan. Following a long breakaway, Voeckler made his move 5 kilometers from the finish to escape from a small group of riders. Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland retained the yellow leader's jersey Wednesday. Seven-time champion Lance Armstrong is second overall, by a fraction of a second, while teammate Alberto Contador of Spain is third, 19 seconds back.
