With one stage in the books in the 2011 Tour de France, Philippe Gilbert holds a three second lead over the field after surviving chaos late in the race on Saturday and powering to the finish. A crash near the end of the race wiped out much of the field, including favorite Alberto Contador. The wipe-out cost Contador 1:20 in race time, though he’ll likely be able to make up the difference as the race hits the mountains.
