Sánchez leads Caisse d'Epargne in France

Luis León Sánchez will lead his Caisse d'Epargne squad at this weekend's Tour cycliste international du Haut Var. The French event has expanded from a single day race – its 40th edition - to a two-day race this year.

Sánchez started his season at the opening ProTour event, Tour Down Under, in Australia. He has since finished runner-up on the Tour Méditerranéen's stage four and taken the overall win.
