Daryl Impey makes history as the first South African to wear yellow at the Tour de France.

From www.letour.fr:

Impey the overall leader: the new top five of the 100th Tour…

History has been made: Daryl Impey moves from second overall to first. He finished the stage in 13th place while his team-mate and former race leader Simon Gerrans was 48th. This means that the South African has taken the yellow jersey and he is the first from his country to lead the Tour de France.

The new top five is:

1. Daryl Impey (RSA) OGE

2. Edvald Boasson Hagen (NOR) SKY – at 3″

3. Simon Gerrans (AUS) OGE – at 5″

4. Michael Albasini (SUI) OGE – at 5″

5. Michal Kwiatkowski (POL) OPQ – at 6″
