SUPER-BESSE, France — Kim Kirchen pulled on the yellow jersey at the Tour de France on Thursday, the first Luxembourg rider in 50 years to lead cycling's showcase race.

He finished fifth in the sixth stage, which was won by Italy's Riccardo Ricco. Kirchen was seventh in the Tour last year and is simply happy to have the jersey for now.

"I've been a bit surprised by my shape," he said. "Now I want to take the race day by day. I want to see what happens in the Pyrenees. And if it goes well in the Pyrenees, we'll see in the Alps, and in Paris. Everything is possible."

The day's previous leader, Stefan Schumacher, touched Kirchen's back wheel yards from the line and crashed. He lost 28 seconds on Kirchen, the yellow jersey and a bit of skin from his elbow and knee.

"The shots didn't fall," Pondexter said. "It kind of made the game harder for us."
