Fabian Cancellara of Switzerland continued to lead the Tour de France 2009 standings after stage 3 of the 21 stage "race". Race is not quite the right word for it...maybe trek, marathon or torture. 
Torture is probably the most fitting as the Tour de France winds 2,149 miles through the mountains of France finishing in Paris on July 26 after 21 stages over 23 days, with only two days of rest.Stage 1 - Monaco - 9.63 miles (I'm hanging in at this point, dead last but still riding)
Stage 2 - Monaco to Brignoles - 116.2 miles (Okay, I'm done)
Stage 3 - Marseille to La Grande Motte - 121.8 miles (I'm back in America already, screw the Tour de France)
The overall winner for stage 3 was Mark Cavendish, who had also won stage 2. Lance Armstrong, 37 years young, was able to close in on the yellow jersey by moving up seven places into third place. He is still 40 seconds behind the leader Cancellara, but only 7 seconds behind second place Tony Martin of Germany.
