Tour de France Stage 21

Can Mark Cavendish take a 6th stage win of the Tour and his 10th in his 3 years of racing the Tour. This is a sensational effort from the Isle of Man rider. The Manx missile will again be unstoppable today. David Millar, Fabian Cancellara, Alessandro Ballan and Stijn Devolder could be just some of the 4 riders who could break free of the peloton in the Tunnel ala Alexandre Vinokourov in 2005.
Alberto Contador solidified his spot atop the cycling world on Sunday after capturing his second career title, finishing the final Stage 21 101.9-mile trek of the Tour de France in comfortable style to hold off Andy Schleck and Lance Armstrong. Schleck finished second overall, 4 minutes, 11 seconds behind Contador while Armstrong, the seven-time Tour de France winner, managed to hold on to third, 5 minutes, 24 seconds back.
While Contador celebrated as the Tour de France overall winner Thor Hushovd grabbed the green jersey for the points classification and Franco Pellizotti won the polka dot jersey as the best climber. Mark Cavendish also had a strong Tour de France, wining six stages in the event. David Millar, Fabian Cancellara, Allesandro Ballan and Stijn Devolder could be just some of the 4 riders who could break free of the peloton in the Tunnel ala Alexandre Vinokourov in 2005.
