(Somewhere-Unpronounceable-in-France) – Cyclist Andy Schleck lost the yellow jersey to Alberto Contador during the 15th stage of the Tour de France yesterday.
“He tore the shirt off my back,” Schleck noted after the stage. “I never saw him coming.”
Losses are not uncommon among wearers of the yellow jersey. Previous leaders have lost the jersey at the dry cleaners, left it at a girlfriend’s house and forgotten it in public restrooms after taking a sponge bath. However, it is rare for a Tour leader to lose the jersey during the race itself.
Schleck vowed revenge, despite rumors that Contador plans to duct-tape the shirt to his torso during the next stage.
