So it's all over for another year with no surprises today as far as the final results were concerned but Cavendish notched up another stage win and Wiggins retained fourth so the Brit representatives did their stuff.
In general, cycling is getting more and more popular over here so, as the interest grows, there may be more taking the sport up. |

Took me a while to find the thread
The route : discover the stage 7 Video stage 7 - Tournus Station des Rousses 165.5 km An initial cull This medium-altitude mountain terrain will be more difficult than Liège-Bastogne-Liège, because the climbs last for between 6 and 12 kilometres, starting at the 40 km mark. Thereafter, there is not even a single centimetre of flat road; it will be up, down, up, down and so on and so forth. At the finishing line, there may still be around thirty riders together. The slopes are not massively difficult, so it is not necessarily a stage for a major climber, more so for a rider like Cadel Evans or David Moncoutié. However, an initial cull will take place and those who are not on form, who will not reach the front of the race, may already be looking at a Tour that is lost......... |

Chavanel reclaims yellow with win
Quick Step's Sylvain Chavanel reclaimed the Tour de France yellow jersey after winning a hilly seventh stage. Chavanel, who won stage two, caught team-mate Jerome Pineau on the final climb and went on to win by 57 seconds from Spain's Rafael Valls Ferri. Britain's Geraint Thomas also faded on the 14km climb up Cote de Lamoura to drop back from second overall to 31st. Switzerland's Fabian Cancellara, who lead overnight, fell away late on and is now 13 minutes 11 seconds back. Cancellara had been riding in the peloton as he looked to stay on as leader for one final day before the race headed into the Alps. But he laboured up the final hill of the 165.5km stage from Tournus to Station des Rousses, along with sprinters Mark Cavendish and Thor Hushovd. "I was on the limit," he said. "It was hot, really hot. For me, it was just too much. I just couldn't do any more." Phew |

I thought that looked a little strange. Perhaps the information from the 2010 race would be more interesting. Key moments Standings |
