SUNDAY 25TH JULY 2010.
Today’s final stage 20 of the Tour de France was from Longjumeau to the Champs-Elysees in Paris; yesterday the stage was around the vine fields of Bordeaux to Pauillac over 52km and was a time-trial and was won by the time-trial specialist Fabian Cancellara,Contador made time on Shelck and retained the overall lead for today’s final stage which is a bit like a procession as they ride into Paris.
The Manic Manxman,Mark Cavendish the “ Manx Missile ” won the sprint, his fifth stage win of this year’s tour and his 15th in total; only 12 men have won more! So Alberto Contador is the winner, for the third time and Andy Schleck was second, again with Russian Denis Menchov third.
NB; The Spaniard won by 39secs.the same time amount of time Schelck lost in the incident that seems to have become known as “ Chain-Gate ” !?
