No yellow for Lance

Cyclingnews sources near the Discovery Channel team bus at the start of Stage 5 report that Lance Armstrong will not wear the yellow jersey today, to honour the fact that Dave Zabriskie lost the jersey because of an accident yesterday.

Discovery Channel team rider George Hincapie told Cyclingnews' Tim Maloney, "Lance and the team felt that even though we might have won by one or two seconds, it was that close, it's not right to take the yellow jersey that way. So he's not going to wear it to honour that fact."

Update: According to official reports, Armstrong didn't wear the almost sacred maillot jaune to the start of today's stage, but the commissaires forced the peloton to stop at the end of the neutral section, allowing Armstrong to don the yellow and wear it for the stage proper.
