"It''s fantastic for me and the team," said the 26-year-old. "It''s the first time we got the yellow jersey during the race this year. The team is strong and I hope I can keep the yellow jersey until the finish."
Lloyd, representing Giant Asia Racing team in 2006, finished a fine 4th overall at last year''s Tour de Qinghai Lake, only seconds behind the winner, despite dedicating his efforts for team leader Hossein Askari.
"I came here to win," said the lanky cyclist. "I''m in good form."
Lloyd''s DFL team was placed second in the team ranking, trailing Spain''s Relax-Gam in five seconds.
Italian Sergio Barbero from Serramenti Pvc of Venezuela held the polka dot jersey by collecting 14 points from the King of Mountain sessions.
Davis kept the green jersey by leading the sprint with 62 points.
The riders are going to compete in the longest stage of the tour on Thursday. They will begin the 207.8km sixth stage from Xining to Minhe then back to Xining.
