TOUR DE FRANCE 100TH EDITION: PART TWO

The historic 100th edition of the Tour de France came to a conclusion yesterday on the tree-lined Champs-Elysees in Paris with Christopher Froome of Great Britain retaining the overall lead to win his first yellow jersey. The second half of the race, heavy on climbing, with five mountain stages, took the riders to the top of Mont Ventoux and on two ascents of the legendary Alpe d'Huez. The final stage ended as the first, with German sprinter Marcel Kittel in front. --Lloyd Young(35 photos total)* Source : www.boston.comClick to continueJuly 25, 2013Tour de FRANCE 100th edition_2013_part two2
