Main Page Results & report Stage Details Previous Stage
Stage 20 - Sunday, July 29: Marcoussis - Paris Champs-�lys�es, 146km
Live commentary by Shane Stokes and Bjorn Haake
Complete live report
Live coverage starts: 13:15 CEST
Estimated finish: 17:45 CEST
Bonjour pour la dernière fois from France, where La Grande Boucle concludes its 94th edition and Cyclingnews brings you the live action once again. Generally the last day that concludes on the Champs-Elysées is a stroll with champagne drinking and then a fast criterium style racing around the Champs with a lap of 6.5km to be completed 8 times and the sprinters taking all the glory. But today could be a little different. Australian Cadel Evans is down only 23 seconds and could make that gap up with time bonuses alone. While it is a long shot, it doesn't seem to be impossible. Jan Ullrich was down about a minute and a quarter in 2003 and vowed to fight until the line is crossed. And that the sprinters can be beaten was shown by Alexander Vinokourov in 2005, the last of the Lance years. Of course another American, Greg LeMond, made his late comeback in 1989 on the Champs, gaining 58 seconds in only 24km of racing, albeit in a time trial. Evans gained 1'27" yesterday in 55.5km. Had he achieved the LeMond rate he would be in yellow. Although if American Levi Leipheimer wouldn't have gotten a 10 second time penalty he would be ahead of Evans now. Lots of if's, and when's, so let's just enjoy the last day of action in France
The riders are at the start line. Christophe Moreau is packing his arm warmers away. Too warm.
13:48 CEST 0.1km/145.9km to go
Off they go! The last day in the 2007 Tour has kicked off.
The atmosphere at the start was relaxed, with the riders joking with each other. We will see if the threatened protest will materialize. There were rumours that some teams wanted to stop one metre from the line.
Amets Txurruka (Euskaltel-Euskadi) is wearing the white jersey, even though he is third. But Contador is wearing yellow and Soler is wearing polka dot. Txurruka will be presented with the most combative rider award in Paris, though. This award is given by a jury at the end of three weeks. The most combative award itself is only given out on a daily basis, without a general classification. In the moment the jerseys are riding in the front, busy to keep the pace at a reasonable 20km/h
Tom Boonen makes a sign with two fingers. Yes Tommeke. You won two stages. Soler is on the right, then Contador, Boonen and Txurruka is riding on the left.
They have a 'gap' of about 50 metres. The peloton is lead by Lampre.
Christophe Moreau also made the front group, with his French Champion jersey.
There are two category four climbs (not so important now, as Soler can't be caught) and two bonus sprints (very important for the green and yellow jersey battles) today.
The first climb comes 51 kilometres after the start and is called the C�te de Saint-R�my-les-Chevreuse. This is 2.5 kilometres long and has an average grade of 6%. The second is just 3.5 kilometres later and this, the C�te de Ch�teaufort, is 1.5 kilometres in length and also 6%.
The crucial sprints are at kilometre 74 and km 108.5. The first is outside the French anti-doping agency at Chatenay-Malabry, the other on the Champs Elysees.
The race started in Marcoussis and it's only 26km south of Paris. But the peloton will head south-west first, before looping back to the French capital. Alberto Contador is pretty yellow, including the frame of his sun glasses.
The peloton is passing a field on their left where the local farmers have a marked a giant bicycle with white chalk. And the real start has happened. The waving of the flag from Tour Director Christian Prudhomme marks the end of the neutral zone.
Stefan Schumacher of Gerolsteiner is towards the back of the field. He wasn't too pleased with his Tour. He did well yesterday, leading ahead of Cancellara and Hoste, but crashed with 12km to go. Hincapie talks to Contador on his left. Hincapie knows very well how it feels to bring his captain onto the Champs.
14:07 CEST 2km/144km to go
So the 'front group' of Contador, Moreau, Soler, Boonen and Txurruka has been 'brought back'. We haven't seen any champagne flowing yet. Is is a sign that Evans and Predictor aren't in celebration mood yet? Maybe we will see a tough battle all the way to the finish.
Moreau smiles into the camera and waves, before stuffing a sports bar in his mouth. The pace is still bearable, at around 20 to 25km/h. The peloton goes over a freeway bridge. And the camera goes back to Christophe Moreau, the French hero. He gets a lot of attention.
Most riders have rolled down their arm warmers, or stuffed them away. Levi Leipheimer is used to temperatures in St. Rosa, California, though, and still has his black arm warmers up all the way. It is overcast today and one wouldn't call it a heat wave, either.
Contador comes back to the field after he went to the team car. He passes German Champion Fabian Wegmann on his all yellow bike. It used to be that riders had to wear black shorts or at least the team shorts. Mario Cipollini changed all this, wearing yellow pants when he was in yellow or star and stripes, matching his American Cannondale bike. He probably doesn't remember the amount of fines he paid in his career. Well, his teams paid... Bit he did manage to get the rules changed, so we get the nice views of a green Boonen and a yellow Contador.
The pace has picked up a bit, it's now between 30 to 35. It still looks like a Sunday afternoon family ride as the riders master a large round about. They opt for the right and it's the shortest way around.
Normally, the final stage is very processional and this should certainly be the case until close to that first sprint. The intermediate time bonuses, of which there are two, will earn 6", 4" and 2" for the first three past the line. So that means that a maximum of 12" is possible here. Then the finishing sprint will also see a bonus being awarded; in this case, the gains are 20", 12" and 8".
Cadel Evans started today 23" behind Alberto Contador and just 8" ahead of Levi Leipheimer. He needs to either win two bonus sprints and place second on the stage, or win the stage and take a total of 4" in the intermediate gallops. That's providing Contador doesn't get anything himself; in other words, it's a pretty tall order.
However if he can get clear in a group which finishes ahead of the peloton, then he could gain a bit of time that way.
What's important to mention is that the green jersey competition is also up for grabs so the sprinters should be going for these same intermediate points. That'll make things more difficult for the GC riders to pick up something.
Tom Boonen starts this final stage in the maillot vert. He has 234 points, 24 more than Robert Hunter (Barloworld) and 28 up on Erik Zabel (Milram). Each of the intermediate sprints will award 6, 4 and 2 points. As for the stage win, the first 25 riders past the line will pick up points. These are 35, 30, 26, 24, 22, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1.
If Boonen stays out of trouble and keeps close to (or, even better, ahead of!) his rivals, he should be safe as regards taking the first Tour green jersey of his career.
The next roundabout is taken on the left. The centre is a large round field and many people have gathered here to watch the peloton go by on this last day of this year's Tour.
A church bell! We haven't heard them much in the last couple of days, as the field has through Gometz la Ville. Again, many people have come out to cheer the riders on as they go on the narrow two lane road through downtown.
Sandy Casar (Fran�aise Des Jeux)
Photo �: Gregor Brown
Sandy Casar is at the back of the field. He finally got a stage win in the Tour, after three second places in the past few years, including this year when he was beaten by Cedric Vasseur. His bandage from the right arm is gone. The win certainly helped him heal quicker after his unfortunate encounter with a dog at almost 60km/h!
14:29 CEST 12km/134km to go
With the speed still the same, the field heads through Frileuse. If they want to avoid the rain they better hurry a bit. It's certainly a chance of a wet finish on the Champs today, which will make the cobble stone section particularly tricky.
Peloton group�
As the field heads through the small patches of forests typical for the area outside Paris, they go past the church St. Denis. It also rings for the Tour riders. The peloton rides double file mostly, with team-mates and friends chatting to each other.
The kid's race on the Champs was won by a little 'garçon of Merignac. During the Tour kids had the chance to ride the final before the pro's. All were dressed in yellow, provided by a sponsor. This was done on 14 occasions during the 2007 Tour, with today being the highlight. The kids had a great sprint finish down the Champs Elysées
One Gerolsteiner rider has his vest on still! Patches of blue are showing ion-between some clouds, so maybe we will have a dry finish after all. But there are still some pretty dark clouds as well. At any rate, the peloton is still not in a hurry, as they take a sharp right in Le Marais.
The final stage tends to be run off at a relaxed pace until close to Paris, when the racing begins. However in 2004 things were different; Filippo Simeoni (Domina Vacanze) attacked in the first kilometres and caused chaos in the bunch. This led the USPS-Berry Floor squad of Lance Armstrong to chase for seven or eight kilometres.
The move was seen as a reaction to the tactics of Lance Armstrong two days earlier in that Tour, the Texan having forced Simeoni to drop out of a breakaway group with the threat that if he did not do so, he [Armstrong] would stay in the break and thus cause the teams of the other overall contenders to chase the move down. Simeoni was suing Armstrong at the time in a defamation of character case. Armstrong had called Simeoni a liar after the Italian said that Armstrong's coach, Dr. Michele Ferrari, had supplied him [Simeoni] with doping products.
No lack of Châteaux in this area. The next one is on the rider's left as the peloton has bunched up some more and they are riding for abreast. And Voeckler flats. He waits at the right hand side of the road and holds his wheel up, to make sure his team car knows what is going on.
14:47 CEST 21.5km/124.5km to go
Thomas Voeckler has no trouble coming back in no time, passing the team cars and then hitting the end of the peloton.
Normally the yellow jersey gets champagne while pedalling along. Not too much, mind...just enough to keep the photographers happy as they snap-snap-snap away.
Fabian Wegmann has a Bart Simpson mask! He's wearing it now.
This final stage can bring some funny moments, such as the tried and trusted 'tallest guy in the bunch on the smallest guy's bike' move.
Charly Wegelius (Liquigas)
Photo �: Cyclingnews.com
Our reader Dennis informs us that Charlie Wegelius grew up in Kirkkonummi (Kyrksl�tt in Swedish), just like him. It's a little town some 30km west of Helsinki. Wegelius rides for the Liquigas team and was about 6 minutes down in yesterday's time trial. He is 45th in the overall, ahead of names like De la Fuente, Vasseur and Cuesta.
This is Wegelius' first Tour, but he has taken part in several Giri d'Italia. This season he was part of the Liquigas team of Danilo di Luca who won the Italian race.
On the field of the left a horse is trying to keep up with the peloton. Its rider is not one of the Tour guys, just somebody on a horse. With the speed of the peloton horse and rider have no trouble keeping up.
The first climb is in 23 kilometres. The riders are moving quite slowly now. A Quick.Step - Innergetic rider takes the opportunity to jump off his bike and head into a field for a toilet break. Stomach trouble, we suspect.
Unfortunately the SRM data doesn't appear to be in operation today. It would have been interesting to see how low the heart rates are at this pace! Anyway, we hope you enjoyed the chance to supplement this live coverage with streaming data from some of the riders in the Tour.
The riders are in the 'parc national regional de la Haute vallée de Chevreuse, passing the Château Porgés. It's situated on a little hill, surrounded by trees, with a long straight road leading up to it. There is a also the Eglise d'Assomption, but strangely enough no bells are ringing
Perhaps Quasimodo is on a day off..
Christian Vande Velde has ended the rumours and confirmed that he will be going to Team Slipstream next season. This will be exciting for the American outfit led by Jonathan Vaughters.
Cadel Evans (Predictor-Lotto) is at the team car. Will he try something still? After he was done discussing things with his directeur sportif he went back to the end of the peloton and discusses some more with team-mate Johan van Summeren, before heading forward again. We will see!
Cadel Evans gave it a great effort
Photo �: Sirotti
Contador is chatting with Spanish compatriot Pereiro. Easier to speak in your native language. The Lotto boys Aerts, Hoste and Van Summeren are still hanging at the back. Truce for now. The sprint isn't coming up for another 40km.
The German riders were seen discussing things earlier. Will they follow through with a protest on the Champs? The spectators don't care - they cheer the riders on, some using a step ladder to have a better view and one lady not caring much for the peloton, instead using her yellow umbrella to get some attention from the helicopter camera - we can also clearly see her opening and closing the umbrella from our blimp.
The peloton rides along between a corn field on the right and a wheat field on the left. Paris, the agricultural capital...
Even if the GC stays the same today, Cadel Evans fans have good reason to cheer him on. Second overall is the best Australian performance to date in the Tour; Phil Anderson was twice fifth, a position Evans equalled last year. He told AFP that he believes he can win a Tour.
"I'm still on my progression. I debuted in eighth, then I came fifth and now second. I've got a good five or six years of Tour riding in front of me, I think."
It remains to be seen if Evans will try something today. He'll also need to keep an eye on Levi Leipheimer, who is himself just 8" further back.
The field will be happy to pedal slow for now and fast around the Champs later. It is perfect preparation for the post-Tour criteriums, which start as soon as tomorrow! The crits were started to give communities the opportunity to see the Tour heroes. The results aren't usually important - the important part is to see the heroes. In the mean time the field passes the Château Dampierre, built in the 17th century.
And now the Château mauvières - do those castles never stop? Bit all are pretty and also have nice locations in the forests. It's a little far to the next bike shop.
The nice thing about being out in the country side is that taking a natural break is no problem. Many riders take the opportunity to stop on the side of the road.
George Hincapie (Discovery)
Photo �: AFP Photo
We are still in the Chevreuse valley, in the natural 'parc'. Ralf Grabsch (Milram) and the sprinter Robert F�rster (Gerolsteiner) are discussing things. Are they talking about the latest stock market crashes, the newest training tips or a potential protest? It is their secret.
15:37 CEST 47km/99km to go
George Hincapie is discussing things with a few Agritubel and Liquigas riders. He has a rain cape stashed in his back pocket. The neon number that the riders leading the team classification are wearing will provide a safety measure should it be getting darker and start raining. Never go without a tail light or at least reflector. The Château de la Madeline is passed, less than 100km from the finish.
We are close to the first climb of the day. The top is in about 1km
Some riders are out of the saddle but everything is together and some riders are even smiling. Hoste and Casar are close to the front.
Thomas L�vkvist (Fran�aise Des Jeux) has a cycling cap underneath the helmet. The Swede should find the temps agréable. And here goes the mountain goat! Gert Steegmans (Quickstep-Innergetic) accelerates out of the peloton and does the sprinter's tiger jump to get his wheel across the mountain top in first. Ok, so that wasn't a serious sprint, with Steegmans being 20 metres ahead of the field. L�vkvist and Frederik Willems (Liquigas) get second and third.
The peloton splits up in Les Hauts de St. Rémy around a round about. One half to the left and one half to the right. And coming back together at the other side. Dekker and Boogerd are discussing things. The two were hoping to arrive today with yellow in their team and have the honour to lead the bunch to the Champs. But things have changed with the exclusion of leader Rasmussen. And Boogerd missed out on the stage win a couple of days ago.
A little split in the field, but more caused by the down hill than by any action on the front. Pineau was at the back, with his rain jacket flapping in the wind on the downhill.
Wow, Steegmans takes the second KOM. He looks to get closer to Soler in the mountains classification. Sorry Gert, that was it for any available mountain points and Soler will keep it. Thanks Goodness the doping charges that some overly excited journalists have spread a couple of days ago were completely false.
Albasini and Popovych get second and third on that last KOM of the day. Now all is left is the flat run-in to Paris. But we are curious about the sprint coming up at km 72 - so in less than 20km. Will Contador and Evans go for it?
Levi Leipheimer pulled out a fantastic performance
Oops, one rider went around the left, whereas the peloton went around the right of a roundabout, which is shorter...In the mean time Leipheimer stuffs in a PowerBar. Looks like the 'Wild Berry' flavour. Yumm!
The riders are getting closer to this first bonus sprint. Will Contador/Evans/Leipheimer sprint? Just in case, two Discovery riders are on the front - Popovych and, we think, Gusev. The pace is still pretty relaxed.
The temperatures are around 17 degrees centigrade. It's mostly cloudy, but not too cold, so many riders have done away with the arm warmers. Some spectators are using the separate bike path as the grand stand. And the camera motor bike uses it as a way to get some pix of the peloton from the side...The field is split as well, with some dividers in the middle of the road making it necessary for some to ride on the left, 'against traffic'
The peloton is near the airport Orly, where some riders may fly out tonight from. But some will stay in Paris for the night, to celebrate the finish.
There's still no sign of the pace being wound up prior to this first intermediate sprint..
Just in case, Boonen is close to the front. We are not sure where Evans and the two Disco riders are just yet.
The peloton goes over a bridge across the rail road tracks, while some kids are running on the side walk, trying to keep up. Voigt and Vasseur are in an animated discussion. Jens is gesturing a lot with his right hand. His left side is pretty banged up still from the crash on one of the cols (down, not up.)
16:21 CEST 71.2km/74.8km to go
Just over two kilometres to go until the sprint and the pace is still very relaxed...
From the blimp we can already see the Eiffel Tower. The riders are in the outskirts of Paris and won't see the famous "Tour Eiffel" yet. It's blocked by the houses.
Now two Quick.Step riders go off the front, seeking to absorb the points. It's Barredo and one other.
There's less than 500 metres to go so it looks like nobody of significance is going to contest this.
Lilian J�gou
Photo �: R�gis Garnier
That's not to insult Barredo, of course, just saying that he is not a contender in the tight yellow or green jersey competitions!
The two are passed right before the line by Lilian Jegou (Fran�aise des Jeux). But the three were going at perhaps 30 - 35 km/h; not really a sprint.
Second and third were Carlos Barredo and Steven de Jongh, both of Boonen's Quick.Step - Innergetic team.
Casar is at the end, lifting his arm. He wants some attention from the team car, as the peloton rides by an observatory. But too cloudy today to see anything. And the stars are riding in the Tour anyway.
Evans didn't contest the sprint but we are sure his team-mates wouldn't mind trying to get him into first place overall, even if it is a tough ask. The motivation, apart from the prestige, is the considerable difference in prize money. The winner of this year's Tour de France will get 450,000 euro, which he will split between his team. The second-placed rider gets less than half that, earning 200,000 euro!
Personally, I'd sprint in that case :)
The peloton heads down a wooded area, then manage to safely pass one of the gazillions roundabouts. The pace is slowing down again as they ride through Meudon, where again many people have come out. The weather is holding up so far.
Levi Leipheimer also has good reason to try to make up the handful of seconds which separate him and Evans; his third place overall is worth 100,000 euro.
So, have they:
a) Decided to let things stand today?
b) Decided to only start racing when they get to Paris?
c) Agreed on a truce whereby Leipheimer won't try to take second if Evans agrees not to chase first?
d) Some other, as yet undetermined tactic?
Answers on a postcard to the Cyclingnews blimp..
Other race news: Santi Botero won the prologue of the Tour of Colombia, by 8 seconds. The race will head into the mountains soon. Another Colombian is of course making headlines here. Mauricio Soler from the Barloworld team is the winner of the polka dot jersey this year!
The filed is now passing the building of L'Equipe on the left, the newspaper that really started the Tour (it was called L'Auto back then). L'Equipe is a more fitting name.
Change at the front of the field, as the pace picks up. The river Seine to the right it's now Discovery on the front. They will lead Contador onto the Champs, as it's the tradition. The France television building is passed now as well.
The field is now close to the mini version of the Statue of Liberty (11 metres high). It's on an island in the Seine that is connected to both sides of the river via a bridge.
The Eiffel Tower is looming on the right, ahead of the field. The most beautiful sight for a cyclist, now doubt.
The Tower is near on the 'Champs de Mars'. For the millennium celebration there were lights installed that now blink periodically at night. The riders head down through a tunnel.
This tunnel looks rather dimly lit, but the riders have no trouble finding their way. Discovery is still at the front, keeping the pace closer to a race pace now. We are close to the Place de la Concorde now, already on the circuit that the field will have to do 8 times.
Alberto Contador struggles to the line
Egoi Martinez is on the front of the bunch as they head towards the Champs Elysees. Then George Hincapie takes over.
Hincapie leads the riders up what is perhaps the most famous street in the world. He's been with the US Postal/Discovery team for all eight of its Tour triumphs. The others then take over, with Contador sitting seventh in line.
The riders climb towards the Arc de Triomphe, having crossed the finish line once.
The photographers at the top will do their utmost to get good shots of Contador in the maillot jaune in front of that monument.
Thor Hushovd won here last year, taking his second victory of the race. The Credit Agricole rider will hope to do so again. He's already taken a stage in the race, so it would equal his tally from last year if he manages to do so.
What an end to the Thueringen Rundfahrt, the week long stage race for women. After almost 600km American Amber Neben got beaten by three tenths of a second!!! Judith Arndt won the overall for the first time in her career. What a fight! Arndt said that Neben is a great competitor and counts her among the favourites for the Worlds in Stuttgart.
An Agritubel rider attacks; it is Freddy Bichot.
He heads past the huge Ferris wheel and has quite a decent lead at this point. But it's a very difficult thing to stay clear of a hungry peloton..
He's got 15" here as he crosses the line.
17:01 CEST 100km/46km to go
The gap is 15 seconds as the bunch hits the finish line for the second passage.
Cancellara has punctured...
A Predictor Lotto rider attacks! We don't think it is Evans, though...maybe Horner. He gets hauled back.
There is an incredible amount of people out, many with yellow T-shirts. The spectators are certainly not boycotting the Tour. Cancellara has a flat, about 100m from the finish line as they were heading into the third lap.
It was Horner. He's back in the peloton, but another rider tries to go. Caisse d'Epargne. But no joy.
Bichot rounds the corner at the top of the Champs Elysees but is caught. Vicente Garcia Acosta (Caisse d'Epargne) and Marcus Burghardt (T-Mobile) try to go clear but nothing is really working thus far.
The crowds are very big here, as you might expect.
No matter the high speeds, you need to eat. A Barloworld guy rides with one hand at 60km/h on the cobbled streets and uses the other to get some Gel out. Very skilled!
It must be an incredible sensation to race here...huge crowds, very wide streets, historic backdrop.
Cancellara made it back to the field despite the high speeds. Arvesen is with him.
Simon Gerrans (Ag2r - Pr�voyance) is trying to go across to a Liquigas and a Milram rider.
17:10 CEST 106.7km/39.3km to go
Correction - it was a Gerolsteiner rider. A group of ten riders are clear heading towards the finish line for the next crossing.
Gerrans is there, Jose Ivan Gutierrez, Nicolas Portal (both Caisse d'Epargne), Ronny Scholz (Gerolsteiner), Christian Knees (Milram), Alessandro Ballan (Lampre-Fondital), Juan Antonio Flecha (Rabobank), Mickael Delage (Fran�aise Des Jeux), Murilo Fischer (Liquigas) and Anthony Charteau (Credit Agricole).
They have been clear for a lap now and have a 15" lead. Took a while to note all those names :)

Tour of Flanders winner Ballan drives it, then the others come through. They are all working well now.
100% co-operation is needed if they are to stand a chance.
The intermediate sprint went to Gerrans ahead of Ballan and Portal. So the general classification riders (and the sprinters) lose out.
Barloworld are leading the chase for Robert Hunter.
The gap is now up to 27". The whole Barloworld team are on the front, including the youngest rider in the race, Geraint Thomas. Well done to him for reaching Paris.
A win by Hunter today would help his green jersey hopes, to say the least..
He is second to Tom Boonen in those standings.
The peloton comes out of the tunnel and continues to chase. The gap is 27".
The Australian Gerrans would love to do something here.
Knees leads them across the finish line for the fourth crossing.. Five laps to go.
Each lap is 6.5 kilometres. Barloworld are riding hard but thus far, the gap remains at 27 seconds.
The main field is very stretched out. The pace is incredibly high. Flecha is always hanging at the back. He hasn't taken a pull yet, waiting for his trademark attack later.
If Boonen holds on to green, it will be a happy moment for him. He changed his race programme this year, aiming to hit form later in the season in order to have a good Tour. He finished the race in 2004, winning the final stage ahead of Jean-Patrick Nazon (AG2R Pr�voyance), Danilo Hondo (Gerolsteiner), Robbie McEwen (Lotto-Domo) and Erik Zabel (T-Mobile Team).
With 27 kilometres remaining the gap is up to 33"... Portal leads for now as they head towards the finish line once more.
Big George is riding right in front of Contador. That is some good protection for the Spaniard!
The Place de la Concorde is spectacular...a huge cobblestoned area leading onto the Champs Elysees.
Scholz leads the break over the line for the fifth crossing. They have 33" now.
Barloworld remain on the front; 34" gap, so it's rising at the moment.
The gap is now 37". They may be happy to leave this break out there for a while, as it will dissuade others from trying.
Julian Dean is sitting a bit far back. Hopefully he can move up later to help Hushovd win again. That would be a great finish for the Credit Agricole team.
Hushovd sends Erik Zabel (Milram) and Oscar Freire (Rabobank)

Ballan leads the break up to the 180 degree bend. He rides on the non-cobbled part of the road on the extreme right.
The gap is now 43"! That's pretty good going.
No sign of any move by Evans or Leipheimer. They won't be able to do anything at this pace.
The peloton is now 45" back. It is thundering down the far side of the Champs Elys�es. Boonen sits near the front, with Contador on his wheel. Moreau is a little further back.
Flecha looks to be having a hard time here. One of the Barloworld rider is on the front, using invisible time trial bars.. That could be risky, especially with your whole team on the wheel! Don't crash...
They come out of the tunnel and it is still Barloworld doing everything. They have taken two stage wins thus far, one by Hunter and the other by Soler.
Gerrans is on the front heading towards the sixth passage of the finish line. Then Ballan and Portal come through. Three laps to go..
Barloworld is still leading the peloton, followed by Discovery. They are lined up single file, the speeds are incredibly high.
The peloton now hit the line, with the gap at 42". Soler is sitting at the back of his team's line.
Evans has a cluster of team-mates around him, as do Contador and Leipheimer.
Evans is setting protected by his Predictor team mates. Barloworld is down to three riding in the front. The speed definitely will take its toll on those who make the pace.
Flecha is hanging off the back of the break. He's been quite quiet during this Tour.
Now Dmitriy Fofonov (Credit Agricole) comes to the front to help the Barloworld riders. He'll be hoping Hushovd has good legs today.
Credit Agricole takes over with Fofonov. Barloworld is still staying close to the front, but the red colours are a bit further back as three Credit Agricole riders take the front.
The gap is coming down now, 35". Some splatters of rain are falling; that will make the cobbles very slippery if it continues.
Halgand takes over, wit Botcharov on his wheel.
Patrice Halgand (Credit Agricole) is now on the front.
Three Barloworld's are still near the front , but it is the Credit Agricole work which has diminished the lead to 30 secs
Boonen's team probably don't have to do much; he's leading the green jersey classification, after all, and if this break stays clear that will suit them just fine. Well, he'd like to go for the stage win, but he can let the teams of those who want to take his maillot vert do the work.
Lampre is moving up on the right. They have Ballan in the break and Bennati for the sprint. Soler is pushing through. He prefers the mountains, no doubt.
And the field is passing the Place de la Concorde again. Left, right, left.
The break are still 30" clear. Flecha still sits at the back; is he planning on taking a flyer, or is he stuffed? He's certainly been hanging a bike length or two back, which would suggest a) he's tired, or b) he's in line for an Oscar. We will see.
The peloton is riding along the Seine to their right, stretched out. They are going 50, 52 km/h
The riders are now inside the final 14 kilometres of this year's Tour de France! Contador needs to be careful on these cobbles.
As Gerrans brings the break over the line for the seventh crossing, the gap is 24". Two laps to go...
19" now... Will the peloton bring these back?
Credit Agricole and Barloworld in the front, then it's Lampre, then Discovery. So Soler is actually ahead of the yellow jersey right now. It's safest to stay close to the front. Less chance of crashing. Big George is still guiding the Kid Contador.
Gerrans is doing a lot of the work; he's riding well. Ballan too, he's back on the front.
The peloton can see the break ahead as they are close to the turn at the l'Arc de Triomphe.
Flecha is stuffed; he lost a few lengths on the uphill drag to the Arc de Triomphe. He gets back on.
Ok, now he is going through...maybe some words were said to him for sitting on..
The peloton now turns. They could see the break as the 10 were heading the other way. Only 18 secs now
Ten kilometres to go! The gap is 20".
There is a bottle on the ground, but the peloton safely misses it. That could cause a problem.
17:43 CEST 137km/9km to go
Two Barloworlds and three Credit riders are leading the bunch, which makes its name honour and is a little more bunched up. Maybe the pace is going down, as the lead is going up again. 21 secs
17:43 CEST 137.4km/8.6km to go
The break looks a bit less organised now... Ballan goes to the front and gives it another injection of pace.
Zabel is safely tucked in. Can he finally win in the sprinter's heaven in Paris?
The peloton is heading through the tunnel again, led by Botcharov.
It's getting a bit scrappy at the front. Gerrans pushes the pace at the front. They need to keep this going..
They come up on the other side. The uphill out of the tunnel is painful!
Attack! Gutierrez and Flecha have gone, the Spaniard starting the move. Flecha's Academy Award is being cleaned and ready for presentation if he can stay clear..
Two Barlo's are now at the back. They have done their share of work and will just try to finish. And then do the lap of honour after the race.
Flecha looks strong, he's doing much of the work. The others have been caught and they only have 10" at the bell..one lap to go..
Flecha goes through and pushes the pace. But they are toast...
They have been caught...
Barloworld and Lampre are at the front, also a Credit Agricole rider.
Lampre have this lined out for Daniele Bennati...
Five kilometres...they are about to turn at the Arc de Triomphe for the final time..
Lampre still doing it all..the speed is really high...
Will Evans or Leipheimer try anything?
It's still Lampre...one of their riders hurls a bottle to the side of the road.
Further back in the bunch, many riders are trying to move up. Boonen will need to get into position..he has a green jersey to defend..
The riders are in one long line..
New Zealand champion Julian Dean is now where he belongs, getting ready to deliver big Thor Hushovd of Norway to the line!
Quick.Step and Milram are getting into position, waiting for the right moment
They are inside the final 3 kilometres now, so if there is a crash they all get the same time.
One kilometre to go! Credit Agricole hits the front...
No sign of Evans...we guess he won't try anything.
Boonen is moving up..
They are onto the finishing straight..
Hunter and Boonen are sprinting hard...
But it is Bennati! He did a superb sprint and takes his second win of the Tour!
He won one in a break, then one here on the Champs Elysees. Contador is congratulated by his team.
Boonen faded badly in the sprint, but took fifth...that will be enough for green. His first maillot vert.
Wow...Cancellara was seventh and David Millar eighth in that sprint..
Sebastian Rosseler led it out for Boonen but Bennati thundered through and held off Hushovd by about a metre. Zabel took third.
Hunter was fourth...he's ridden well in this Tour.
"The legs were good but the stress and all the attention for the jersey was hard," said Tom Boonen. He said that today he was riding to make sure of the green jersey, and that he's a bit tired mentally after three weeks of racing for the maillot vert.
So Contador takes yellow ahead of Evans and Leipheimer in what is one of the closest Tour finishes in years. The young Spaniard is also landing the white jersey as best young rider, while Boonen gets green ahead of Hunter and Zabel. Colombian rider Juan Mauricio Soler keeps up his country's great tradition, finishing here in Paris as the best climber. He has a promising future ahead of him...
Well, thanks to all for following what was a very suspenseful, exciting and sometimes-scandalous Tour with us here on Cyclingnews! We are going to take the blimp in for a much-needed service, so that completes our live coverage for today and indeed for the 2007 race.

Continental announced that it is expanding its international network for artificial intelligence (AI).
Continental head of corporate AI Demetrio Aiello says, "We are joining forces with the world's leading AI researchers.
The research partnership focuses on optimising the speed of neural networks, as well as protecting AI systems in safety-critical applications.
Both Continental and BDD are driven by the goal of implementing the AI research results into series production as quickly as possible.
In the first year of the program membership, Continental and BDD are focused on two fields of research.
First is the testability of AI algorithms in safety-relevant systems, BDD is developing methods that will allow the reliability of AI systems to be tested more efficiently.
Explainable AI focuses on understanding precisely how an AI system makes decisions. To test artificial intelligence in detail, experts must know exactly how it works. In addition to the benefits of the research itself, Aiello shared another important advantage of the membership.
Aiello concludes, "The opportunity to have colleagues from Silicon Valley and other Continental locations working as part of BDD research teams enables more efficient collaboration and transfer of expertise. It also allows us to identify the talent we need for our AI strategy at an early stage."
In 2015, Continental set up a corporate AI and Robotics Lab to coordinate the company's various research activities. So far, this has led to strategic collaborations with NVIDIA and Baidu, as well as many leading research institutes in this field, including the University of Oxford, the Technische Universität Darmstadt, the DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence) and the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (India).
Earlier this year, the Continental Advanced Driver Assistance Systems business unit opened a centre of excellence for deep machine learning in Budapest, Hungary. By the end of 2018, the technology company will employ around 400 engineers worldwide with specific AI expertise and is looking to add AI experts in product and process development.

Netgear's new router promises professional-grade Wi-Fi in the home office
By Mohamed Elarby - January 05, 2022
Netgear has launched a new business-focused router that promises rapid Wi-Fi speeds for small offices and remote working setups.
At CES 2022, the networking company unveiled the Orbi Pro SXK50, its latest tri-band mesh router system with support for Wi-Fi 6. The model fills a gap in the current range, between the Orbi Pro SXK30 and SXK80.
The new router offers theoretical speeds of up to 5.4 Gbps, supports up to 75 concurrent devices and has a maximum coverage area of 12,500 square feet.
The Orbi Pro SXK50 will be available in the US later this month for $449.99, and in Europe later in Q1 at a price of £419.99/€449.99.
Home office routers
Since the start of the pandemic, connectivity has been among the most significant challenges for remote and hybrid workers, whose ability to remain productive often hinges on the speed of their home network.
Many remote employees rely on the stock router provided by their internet service provider, but Netgear says businesses could consider funding an upgrade.
"The challenge for the small business is to provide employees with a home Wi-Fi experience that is on par with that of the office with the reliability and performance that relieve the most basic work-from-home frustrations," the company wrote.
"Ideal for the home office or small businesses, the Orbi Pro SXK50 offers incredible performance, easy management, and support for a larger number of devices."
Although there are many high-speed routers on the market, the networking firm claims its Orbi Pro line stands apart courtesy of advanced cybersecurity facilities, which include a business VPN, support for WPA3 wireless security protocols, VLAN management and four distinct SSIDs.
"The key concerns for business Wi-Fi customers are reliability, robustness, security and performance," said Doug Cheung, Director of Product Line Management at Netgear. "The Orbi Pro line satisfies all of those needs, but its security features really set our devices apart from the competition."
Cheung went on to explain that business-grade security is "standard across the entire lineup", which means customers need only determine how many devices they are required to support.

LÜME: Eat Vitamin and Herbal Granola Snack Supplements?
LÜME is a brand-new health foods company specializing in energy and collagen-boosting granola snacks that help users to look and feel their best without breaking the bank or ruining their diet.
As a popular health trend, wellness-focused snacks continue to take off all over the world. The appeal is clear; snacks like healthy granola can help to replace fatty foods and sugary treats while keeping users feeling full and satisfied. But with the quick explosion of the health foods industry in the past decade, both good and bad products have made it to the forefront of the exciting new sector.
LÜME is a wellness-focused company that offers gluten-free granola to nourish the body and promote better skin, nails, hair, and energy levels. The brand, which only just launched this week, allows consumers to shop their products on the official website. While much is still up in the air concerning where the company and their new line of products will go from here, the market is excited to see what the new LÜME has to offer the healthy snack industry.

What is LÜME?
The wellness industry is filled with brands that working to simplify the lives of their customers, and the influx of organic remedies has become rather popular. Natural superfoods and whole foods are among some of the most nutritious options for the average consumer, but the cost of actually supplying the body with these foods can be prohibitive for many users. Even more importantly, some consumers might have trouble portioning and making full use of these products in their daily wellness routines.
LÜME only launched on February 20th, according to a Nosh press release. The company was founded with a simple mission; they seek to provide their audience with a variety of organic and gluten-free granola treats that have already been pre-portioned. Their formulas are meant to give consumers the collagen support and metabolism boost they need while satisfying them with deliciously edible flavors.
In a press release published by Nosh, founder Travis Piéd stated, "I am excited to announce the launch of LÜME and, in doing so, inherently share with others a way to perceive food differently. At a young age, I saw firsthand that what you put in your body is directly connected to your health, state of mind, and even sense of self. Growing up, my mom suffered from brutal migraines, and it wasn't until my dad introduced us to a more holistic lifestyle and dieting approach, that her health greatly improved."
Piéd explained that the use of whole foods, vitamins, and herbs coincided with a drastic decrease in migraines and improvement in the health of his family. Now, with this small lineup of once-daily granola snacks, customers can also take advantage of the kind of superfood benefits that he saw in his own family.
Vitamin and Herbal Granolas from LÜME
Since the brand is new, only a small selection of remedies are available. Predominantly, consumers have their choice of Fit (one flavor) and Glow (two flavors).
Fit is a herbal granola composed of a combination of yerba mate, oolong tea, and cactus extract blended together to improve metabolism and increase energy levels. This particular blend also includes almonds, oats, and cacao nibs.
Glow is available with two flavor options: Cinnamon Almond and Lavender Vanilla. Both variations of the collagen granola are meant to support the health and beauty of the hair, skin, and nails. Concerning ingredients, this product includes a blend of marine collagen, biotin, pearl, aloe vera, bamboo extract, and vitamins.
Consumers that are unsure of what product would suit them best can check out the sampler package currently available for $19. The sampler package includes all three options.
With all purchases, users choose to either make a one-time purchase or subscribe for regular shipments. Recurring shipments come with an additional discount. For example, a six-packet box of Fit granola is available for $5, but this price drops to $4 with a subscription.
Frequently Asked Questions About LÜME
Users might have a number of questions about this product line. Because the company is so new, answers are limited. Nevertheless, this question will answer some of the most commonly asked questions about LÜME's new product line.
Q: How can LÜME Granola Supplements help to improve wellness?
A: LÜME's Fit herbal granola helps users to improve their metabolism and increase overall energy levels. The company also offers Glow, which uses collagen to support the health of the hair, skin, and nails in its users.
Q: How do you use LÜME?
A: Use is very simple. The products are typically called a "once daily" snack. Users can eat the granola at any time, but should limit their daily intake of the snack to ensure that they don't harm their weight loss goals through the use of LÜME.
Q: Is LÜME a medicine or drug?
A: No! LÜME is marketed as a snack-based supplement with vitamins and adaptogen-infused granolas. Each product in the LÜME line is packed with nutritious herbal extracts and ingredients that help users to improve their overall wellness and health. This being said, the product requires no subscription and is not subject to the same regulations applied to drugs.
Q: Will LÜME be releasing new products?
A: We'll have to wait and see! LÜME is competing in a pretty over-saturated market, so their expansion relies heavily on the success of this initial product line in the coming months. For users who want to see an expansion of the products by LÜME, spreading the word is always a good idea.
Q: Does LÜME use all-natural ingredients?
A: Yes! LÜME products are all-natural and 100% organic.
Contacting LÜME
Even with the information on the website and in recent news stories, consumers may still have other questions that they want to address. The customer service team can be reached by sending an email to hello@eatlume.co.
LÜME may be rather new to the industry, but their first roll-out of products offer potent and delicious support to users. Consumers have the choice of three different flavors, which they can get regularly by signing up for a subscription. However, the cost is fairly low, so anyone that is unsure about making these products a regular part of their daily routine won't break the bank in trying some new and healthy snacks.

1485-1547 Italian Sebastiano del Piombo Galleries Italian painter. He was one of the most important artists in Italy in the first half of the 16th century, active in Venice and Rome. His early, Venetian, paintings are reminiscent of Giovanni Bellini and to a lesser extent of Giorgione. With his move to Rome in 1511 he came under the influence of Raphael and then of Michelangelo, who supplied him with drawings. After the death of Raphael (1520) he was the leading painter working in Rome and was particularly noted as a portrait painter. In his finest works, such as the Piete (1513; Viterbo, Mus. Civ.) and the Flagellation (1516-24; Rome, S Pietro in Montorio), there is a remarkable fusion of the Venetian use of colour and the grand manner of central Italian classicism.

What does black and white symbolize together?
The contrast of white and black (light and darkness, day and night) has a long tradition of metaphorical usage, traceable to the Ancient Near East, and explicitly in the Pythagorean Table of Opposites. In Western culture as well as in Confucianism, the contrast symbolizes the moral dichotomy of good and evil.
What effect does a black and white photo have?
Black and white photography removes any distraction of color and helps the viewer focus on other aspects of the photo, such as the subject, the textures, shapes and patterns, and the composition.
Why is black and white good?
Whereas color will simply distract the viewer and prevent them from seeing what the photo is all about. Black and white can also eliminate distracting color casts that would otherwise subtly shift the viewer's attention away from what matters.
What does black and white represent in advertising?
Black-and-white advertising gets consumers to focus on basic product features while color advertising can influence consumers to pay more for products with unnecessary extras, a new study suggests.
What is black and white called?
Of an image, the term monochrome is usually taken to mean the same as black and white or, more likely, grayscale, but may also be used to refer to other combinations containing only tones of a single color, such as green-and-white or green-and-red.
Is black and white a color in art?
Some consider white to be a color, because white light comprises all hues on the visible light spectrum. And many do consider black to be a color, because you combine other pigments to create it on paper. But in a technical sense, black and white are not colors, they're shades. They augment colors.
What is the color black symbolic of?
Black Color Psychology – In color psychology, black's color meaning is symbolic of mystery, power, elegance, and sophistication. In contrast, the color meaning can also evoke emotions such as sadness and anger.
What is black and white quotes?
Black and white creates a strange dreamscape that color never can.
Things are not quite so simple always as black and white.
In the beginning it was all black and white.
Life isn't black and white.
There's so much grey to every story – nothing is so black and white.
Why do people use black and white in paintings?
By deliberately blurring the photograph, the artist makes the viewer aware that this is an altered image, contrasting with the crispness and apparent objectivity of the original. Abstract and installation artists have often been drawn to black and white.
What does black and white mean in design?
Artists, storytellers, and filmmakers love using the two shades together when designing because they contrast with one another so well. Black is a bold color, which can embody feelings like power and strength. White is literally blank space, which embodies purity or light. Feelings are subjective, of course.
What is black and white drawing called?
The term monochrome is used to describe paintings, drawings, design or photographs in one colour or values of one colour. The show at the National Gallery looks at what happens when artists cast aside the colour spectrum and focus on the visual power of black, white and everything in between.
What does black represent in paintings?
It can be linked with death, mourning, evil magic, and darkness, but it can also symbolize elegance, wealth, restraint, and power. As the first pigment used by artists in prehistory and the first ink used by book printers, black played an important role in the development of art and literature.
What colors mean in paintings?
Red is for energy, passion and danger.
Orange is for creativity, youth and enthusiasm.
Green is for nature, growth and harmony—but also wealth and stability.
Purple is for luxury, mystery and spirituality.
Pink is for femininity, playfulness and romance.
Brown is for wholesomeness, warmth and honesty.
What does white represent in art?
White symbolizes safety, cleanliness and purity. It emanates innocence, youth and perfection. It also means simplicity and freshness. Usually, white should be used sparingly in a painting with the other colours to make sure it doesn't look lifeless and chalky.
What is color symbolism in art?
Color symbolism in art and anthropology refers to the use of color as a symbol in various cultures. There is great diversity in the use of colors and their associations between cultures and even within the same culture in different time periods.
What color is associated with creativity?
Yellow is the emotional color. It represents creativity, friendliness, optimism, and confidence. Incorporate yellow when you want to stimulate positivity, creativity and happiness.

And I was just talking about you today, because my mom got food poisoned at a local restaurant last night. Crab cakes = why MamaDeb is glad she'll be cooking kosher.
It depends on the restaurant (if kashrut weren't an issue.)- do the crabcakes move? Or are they one item on a large menu? Also, I'd be more likely to blame uncooked or cold food than something served hot. Someone handles food to be cooked with less than healthy hands, the cooking generally takes care of it, unlike with salads.
On the other hand, I'm assuming you're not going to eat there again - so, yes. Call the health department. That's a violation.

Uncommon Understanding (Classic Edition) Summary
Uncommon Understanding (Classic Edition): Development and disorders of language comprehension in children by Dorothy V. M. Bishop (Oxford University, England, UK)
This is a Classic Edition of Dorothy Bishop's award-winning textbook on the development of language comprehension, which has been in print since 1997, and now includes a new introduction from the author. The book won the British Psychological Society book award in 1999, and is now widely seen as a classic in the field of developmental language disorders.
Uncommon Understanding provides a comprehensive account of the process of comprehension, from the reception of an acoustic signal, to the interpretation of communicative intentions, and integrates a vast field of research on language acquisition, psycholinguistics and neuropsychology. In the new introduction Dorothy Bishop reflects on the organization of the book, and developments in the field since the book was first published.
A major theme in the book is that comprehension should not be viewed as a unitary skill - to understand spoken language one needs the ability to classify incoming speech sounds, to relate them to a mental lexicon, to interpret the propositions encoded by word order and grammatical inflections, and to use information from the environmental and social context to grasp an intended meaning. Another important theme is that although neuropsychological and experimental research on adult comprehension provides useful concepts and methods for assessing comprehension, it should be applied with caution, because a sequential, bottom-up information processing model of comprehension is ill-suited to the developmental context.
Although the main focus of the book is on research and theory, rather than practical matters of assessment and intervention, the theoretical framework presented in the book will continue to help clinicians develop a clearer understanding of what comprehension involves, and how different types of difficulty may be pin-pointed.
Uncommon Understanding (Classic Edition) Reviews
Praise for the 1st Edition:
Uncommon Understanding is a comprehensive and authoritative analysis of research and theory within the important field of children's language comprehension and disorders. Dr Bishop has admirably met the challenge of bringing together and critically but even-handedly evaluating what is undoubtedly a vast body of complex, and at times disparate and even conflicting, knowledge and research. - Valerie Muter, Great Ormond Street Hospital in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry
This is an excellent book. Everyone who has an interest in understanding language development should read this book and many readers will want to keep a copy of the book on their shelf for reference. Students of language disorders will find here a brilliant summary of the issues and analyses that are shaping their field. Students of normal development can use this book as a way of gaining a better understanding of the ways in which the intricate structure of language learning can become unbraided. - Brian MacWhinney, Carnegie Mellon University in Developmental Review
This is an absolutely excellent book! In a well-argued review, Bishop provides an admirably clear and incisive account of specific language impairment, displaying a remarkable blend of scholarship and clinical insight. In my view, the book cannot be faulted and will become a classic in the field of developmental language disorders. - Margaret J. Snowling, University of York, UK
This book is excellently written. Dorothy Bishop manages to combine discussing pertinent and controversial theoretical accounts of SLI with giving a clear presentation of empirical results and an introduction to basic terms of linguistic theory and psychological testing. The book is suited to researchers, students, teachers, and practitioners alike. - Gisela Szagun, University Oldenburg, in International Journal of Behavioral Development

Magpie's Café opened on May 16, 1984 by Rhonda Crane. It started in the basement of the "Crow's Nest" building on this historic Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri. It was named after her daughter, Maggie, who "chattered like a little Magpie". Her business thrived on her Baked Potato Soup Recipe.
About 10 years later, she moved to the current location at 903 South Main Street. At the time of her death in July of 2019, Rhonda was the most enduring, single owner of a business on Main Street for 35 years.
I was a server here for 15 years before purchasing the restaurant. Coincidentally, I also have a daughter named Maggie. I am the mother of eight children, and most of them have worked here at one time or another.
My goal in buying Magpie's was to keep the integrity of this staple of Main Street going strong while also putting in my own touches. I hope you enjoy your meal and keep coming back for more!

Restaurants St. Charles – The title to this property dates back to 1821, when it was proofed to Charles Tayon. Tayon served from 1793-1803 as the Spanish governor of St. Charles. He had distinguished himself during the Revolutionary War in the defense of San Carlos (St. Louis). As a reward for the outstanding defense of Fort Joseph, he was granted 10,000 aprons (acres) of land in St. Charles County, which would explain why he came to the area.
This was probably the largest home in the settlement of St. Charles (Les Petites Cotes – the Little Hills) at the time of its construction. Speculation has it that it may have been built in 1812 when Charles Tayon sold the property he owned a block north of here.
The home has passed through many hands, including the Botany family who owned the property for 90 years. In more recent history, this was known to the locals as "The Witches House" because the family that lived here practiced "white" witchcraft.
After extensive renovation, Magpie's now practices its own brand of witchcraft. We cast a wonderful magical spell upon our food so you have to come back for more! You can also visit us at DineOutSTL.com.
