Fränk Schleck took the overall race lead of his home tour, Tour de Luxembourg, thanks to a stage win Saturday in Diekirch. The Luxembourg road champion completed the mountainous 185-kilometre stage ahead of Andreas Klöden (Astana).

Tour de Luxembourg's stage three was Schleck's first ever win in his home tour. This year the team Saxo Bank rider won a stage at the Tour of California and last year he held the race leader's maillot jaune at the Tour de France.

Fränk's brother Andy won yesterday's stage to Differdange.

A four-man group got away early and built up a lead of five minutes. A break that followed contained 16 men, including hometown favourites Andy and Fränk Schleck and many top classification contenders.

With 10 kilometres to go, Saxo Bank assumed control of the race by increasing the tempo and leaving the race leader behind on the way to the finish in Diekirch. In the final few kilometres, Fränk Schleck and Klöden and Marco Marcato, established a gap.

Schleck attacked with two kilometres remaining and no one could follow. He crossed the line alone for a solo victory in front of cheering fans.

The five-day stage race ends tomorrow with a 147-kilometre stage from Mersch to Luxembourg. (GB)
