Summary:
Soon after Dutchman Leon van Bon sprinted to victory in Stage 6 of the Tour de France, the race's leaderboard turned itself upside down. Laurent Jalabert, David Canada and Lance Armstrong -- who entered the day 1-2-3 -- dropped to 10th, 11th and 12th respectively in the overall standings. Meanwhile, Italian Alberto Elli jumped all the way from 21st to first in what proved to be a sprinter-friendly stage.
