                    [Summary] => 

Tyler Farrar became the first American to win a Tour de France stage on July 4, dominating a sprint finish in the third leg Monday as teammate Thor Hushovd of Norway kept the yellow jersey.

The 2010 Tour de France is over and Alberto Contador was able to defend his title although not in the way he would want it to be.

Mathematically, Andy Schleck can still win the Tour de France.

Before that was in Benidorm, Spain, when Gianni Bugno won the rainbow stripes over Miguel Indurain. In between those two triumphs, and until last year, the Squadra Azzurra, the perennial favorite in every Worlds, was squabbling for leadership, a curse for a team that has lots of potential World Champions.

Although I personally don't like the way Boonen does his sprints (like an eel wiggling in the mud), there's no denying that in the absence of the Italian sprinter Alessandro Petacchi, Boonen is the baddest sprinter in the tough and tumble world of mass sprints in the Tour today.
