134k Versailles to Paris,
FLAT
 |
| Stage 21 finishes, as always, in Paris |
The 2013 100th
edition of the Tour De France comes to a conclusion on Sunday. Chris Froome of Britain’s Team Sky has
sown up the win after defending his lead for two weeks. He won on top of Ax 3
Domaines on stage 8, and has worn yellow ever since. He even had to defend
himself, literally, when he shoved a fan out of the way who had gotten too
close to the elite breakaway trio.
The other jerseys are all
decided too. All that is left to contest is Sunday’s sprint finish on the
Champs-Élysées. The winners will enjoy a leisurely ride into Paris from
Versailles, and a nighttime finish has been scheduled for the first time, in
honor of the centenary celebration. The finish is scheduled for around 9:30 pm
local time.

Mark Cavendish will try to
grab his fifth career win on the famed Boulevard between the Arc de Triomphe
and the Place de la Concorde. Peter Sagan will probably pop another wheelie or
two. Let’s hope he comes up with some new tricks soon.
André Greipel and Marcel
Kittel wouldn’t mind another notch on their stage-win belts. There is not much more
to say about the stage, except, enjoy the pageant and pick your sprinter.
MY PICK:
My last pick of the race is going to the Manx Missile from Omega Pharma. Mark
Cavendish
I will post full results
after the stage, and then a race wrap-up later on, with conclusions from the
race, and I will see how I did on my picks and predictions overall. [I think
nine of my stage picks came in second]
