An African holds the overall leader's yellow jersey after stage six at the Tour de France.
It's the first time in the 100 years the Tour has been staged, that an African has held the lead and the honour fell to South Africa's Daryl Impey, of Australia's Orica GreenEDGE team.
Impey assumes the lead from his team-mate Simon Gerrans after the Australian deliberately finished behind the South African so he could claim the lead.
The stage was won by Germany's Andre Greipel, but it was Gerrans' selfless act that created another historic moment for the Orica GreenEDGE team, as Murray Silby reports.
