Bradley Wiggins

The British rider Bradley Wiggins fought hard again today and retained his 4th overall possion in the Tour de France, with only one stage left he's looking good to become the Highest placed Brit in many a year of the TdF!

It looked like he'd cracked a couple on times right at the end of the stage, a very hard climb to the line, but Bradley dag deep managing to came in 1min and 03 sec behind the lead. So even though he had lost a little time, it wasn't enough to lose that overall 4th place!


With only one stage left, its winding up to be an exciting Tour.

The top 5:

1. Alberto Contador
2. Andy Schleck 4min 11sec
3. Lance Armstrong 5min 24sec
4. Bradley Wiggins 6min 01sec
5. Frank Schleck 6min 04sec

Jerseys:

Yellow jersey: Alberto Contador

Mark Cavendish does it again

After 3h 50' 35" Mark Cavendish takes another Win at stage 19 of Le Tour de France, making a grand total of 5 so far this year. The course was 178km from Bourgoin-Jallieu with an average speed of 46.32 kph (quick!).

It was an very unexpected win by the britain who now lies 25 point behind Thor Hushovd in the race for Green, who came in second today.

It may all come down to the last day and the finish in Paris before we see the final of this epic dual.
