• Km 103.5: Buttertubs, 4.4 km @ 6.8%, category 3
• Km 129.5, Grinton Moor, 3 km @ 6.6%, category 3

The Race: A hard, hilly day in Yorkshire yielded German sprinter Marcel Kittel as the first Yellow Jersey of the year. Just as the sprinters were getting going, a bad crash took down Mark Cavendish and Simon Gerrans, slowing much of the peloton. A few were ahead and safe and Kittel was the fastest of them.

A last-minute flyer by Fabian Cancellara almost won the day, but he was caught within sight of the finish.

A savvy escape that started a almost the drop of the flag let the oldest rider in the peloton, Jens Voigt, hoover up the lion's share of the KOM points. For a report of the stage in detail, please see our stage 1 live-updates .

The Race: A group of seven escapees went almost from the start. They were never allowed much rope and by km 140, most were back in the pack and eventually the final holdout, Blel Kadri of Ag2r, was also caught.

Yellow Jersey Marcel Kittel was unable to handle the nine categorized ascents (plus all the unrated climbs that made the day so hard). He finished 166th, about 20 minutes down.

The final climbs reduced the peloton to the 20 best. All the contenders were there and several threw in vicious attacks. But near the end Italian road champion Vincenzo Nibali took off. It was perfect timing and for those few crucial seconds the others just looked at each other. That was enough. Nibali is enjoying the form of his life. He dug deep and crossed the line a couple of seconds in front of the charging pack. Nibali not only won the stage, he is the new yellow jersey. Chapeau!

More stage three notes |

The Race: As soon as the peloton passed the end of the neutral zone and the official racing started, Jean-Marie Bideau accelerated with Czech time trial champion Jan Barta on his wheel. That was the day's break. The pair were allowed three minutes lead, but they were never going to be allowed a big gap. This flat stage was the property of the sprinters and they had no plans to relinquish that title to the duo.

Near the end of the stage the pair still held on to a slim lead, but Bideau buckled and had to let his powerful breakaway partner do all the work. With a few kilometers to go to the finish Barta had dropped Bideau and though the pack was just 10 seconds back, he refused to surrender.

Barta was caught with seven kilometers to go, so things were set up for a big, fast sprint. Omega Pharma took over, but they seemed to have gone a bit early and ran out of gas. Giant-Shimano timed things perfectly and at just the right time unleashed stage one winner Marcel Kittel.

Peter Sagan was perfectly positioned, tucked right in on Kittel's wheel. But no one could come around the blazingly fast German. Kittel charged for the line to take a clean win. But, Sagan's choice of wheel let him come in second and extend his points classification lead.

Vincenzo Nibali rode the race near the front, stayed out of trouble and preserved his two-second GC lead.

More stage 4 notes |

The Race: Thomas Voeckler and Luis Maté broke away early, but the sprinters wanted this flat stage for themselves, so the lead never got very large. Maté had bad luck, first having his chain get snarled and needing a new bike (Voeckler waited) and then getting a front flat. At that point Voeckler pressed on. Refusing to give up, Voeckler grimly held on until about 15 km to go, when he was finally caught.

There was more bad luck. Lotto-Belisol had three riders go down, forcing Greg Henderson to abandon. Chris Froome crashed and had to wear a splint for much of the race. At this point I don't know his condition, though he did finish the stage in the front group.

The pack was together for a big sprint and all the good speedsters duked it out. Alexander Kristoff got a jump and Marcel Kittel clawed his way past him. Peter Sagan had a late crash and resolutely made his way to the front and at the last moment landed on Kittel's wheel. Kittel towed the talented Sagan to fifth place.

Kittel has so far won three of the four stages. Vincenzo Nibali remains the GC leader going into tomorrow's stage. Peter Sagan is still the leader in the points and young rider classifications.

Winner's average speed: 45.3 km/hr

The Race: The roads were slick from rain and oil, causing innumerable crashes. Already badly hurt, Chris Froome fell twice before stage five reached the first cobbles. The second crash was the last straw and the 2013 Tour champion climbed into the team car and quit the 2014 Tour de France.

Over the slippery cobbles Vincenzo Nibali asserted his superiority, finally riding in a lead group of three with Lars Boom (Belkin) and teammate Jakob Fuglsang. Near the end Boom blasted away and rode strongly to the finish to win a staggeringly difficult stage. Nibali finished third and in doing so, might have destroyed the hopes of the rest of the contenders. Alberto Contador, especially, who suffered today, finished nearly three minutes down.

Sky seems to have appointed Richie Porte as their new GC man. Porte was falling further behind in the Contador group when teammate Geraint Thomas pulled him up to the next chasing group with Andrew Talansky.

What a day of racing!

Winner's average speed: 47.0 km/hr

• Km 107.5: Côte de Coucy-le-Château-Auffrique, 0.9 km @ 6.2% average gradient - category 4
• Km 157: Côte de Roucy, 1.5 km @ 6.2% - category 4

The Race: A nervous peloton suffered numerous crashes on the wet, slippery roads of today's stage. Alberto Contador will have to do without one of his climbing wingmen, Jesus Hernandez, when the Tour hits the high mountains. Hernandez fell hard enough to temporarily lose consciousness.

As the peloton closed in on the finishing city of Reims, crosswinds tormented some of the riders. Belgian squad Omega Pharma, experienced in racing under these conditions, used the wind to shell some competitors. One after another, Omega Pharma team members took hard, ferocious pulls, upping the speed sometimes to 55 km/hr. The pack was shattered into several echelons. The result was that several sprinters including Arnaud Démare and Marcel Kittel never saw the front again. Earlier reports (repeated in this site's live updates) were that Kittel had flatted, were wrong, he just couldn't get up to the front group when the hammer was dropped.

Under the Red Kite, Omega Pharma's Michal Kwiatkowski took off and for a while it looked like he might make it to the finish alone. But Europcar's Kévin Reza closed the gap. Then André Greipel unleashed an irresistible sprint that gave him the stage win. All bunch sprints in the Tour have so far been won by Germans (Greipel and Kittel).

Vincenzo Nibali stayed at the front and out of trouble, giving him another day in yellow.

Winner's average speed: 46.3 km/hr

• Km 217.5: Côte de Maron, 3.2 km @ 5% average gradient - category 4
• Km 229: Côte de Boufflers, 1.3 km @ 7.9% - category 4

The Race: The second-longest stage of this year's Tour was again marred by many crashes. Cannondale spent most of the day at the front, keeping a six-man break within reach. As the peloton got closer to the end, other teams, notably Orica-GreenEdge, brought the pace up to a point that a lot riders were getting shelled out the back.

Before the final climb there was a big crash that brought down several BMC riders, notably Tejay van Garderen. He had lots of help from teammates, but the pack was moving so fast he was unable to reduce his one-minute deficit to the speeding peloton. The unfortunate BMC rider is now 3min 14sec behind race leader Vincenzo Nibali.

Over the crest of the final climb, the Côte de Boufflers, BMC rider Greg van Avermaet attacked (while van Garderen was struggling to catch the pack) and over the crest he had a small gap and Peter Sagan for company.

The pair were caught near the finish and just as the pack was in full flight, Andrew Talansky went down hard.

Sagan and Matteo Trentin fought for the stage win and everyone initially thought Sagan had taken the stage. Trentin even congratulated Sagan. But a look at the photos revealed that Trentin was first over the line.

Race leader Vincenzo Nibali finished 16th, in the front group, to remain the overall leader.

Winner's average speed: 44.2 km/hr

Saturday, July 12: Stage 8, Tomblaine - Gérardmer La Mauselaine, 161 km

• Km 142: Col de la Croix des Monats, 7.6 km @ 6% average gradient - category 2
• Km 150: Col de Grosse Pierre, 3 km @ 7.5% - category 2
• Km 161: Gérardmer La Mauselaine, 1.8 km @ 10.3% - category 3

The Race: Blel Kadri was the last survivor of a five-man break that went early in the stage. He went clear on the first categorized climb of the day, the Col de la Croix des Monats and stayed away for the stage's remaining twenty kilometers. He not only won the stage, he now owns the polka-dot jersey of the King of the mountains.

Several minutes back Alberto Contador's Tinkoff-Saxo squad went to the front and seriously ramped up the speed. They did succeed in largely isolating race leader Vincenzo Nibali. But when the final climb got steep and Contador threw attack after attack at Nibali, Nibali hung on. That is, until the final meters. Contador was able to finally get clear, but only by four seconds.

The hard day in the rain seriously reordered the general classification. Peter Sagan was shelled early in the climbing, so Michal Kwiatkowski owns the young rider's white jersey outright. Sagan does have a vise-like grip on the points classification, leading Europcar's Bryan Coquard by 111 points.

Richie Porte rode well and is now sitting in third place. Sadly, Andrew Talansky crashed again. The talented rider lost a couple of minutes and is now 16th, more than four minutes behind Nibali.

Winner's average speed: 42.1 km/hr

Brilliant! Tony Martin wins stage nine. Photo ©Sirotti

• Km 11.5: Col de la Schlucht, 8.6 km @ 4.5% average gradient - category 2
• Km 41.0: Col du Wettstein, 7.7 km @ 4.1% - category 3
• Km 70.0: Côte des Cinq Châteaux, 4.5 km @ 6.1% - category 3
• Km 86.0: Côte de Gueberschwihr, 4.1 km @ 7.9% - category 2
• Km 120.0: Le Markstein, 10.8 km @ 5.4% - category 1
• Km 127.0: Grand Ballon, 1.4 @ 8.6% - category 3

The Race: The overall standings are a bit different after today's stage.

Early on, Tony Martin and Alessandro de Marchi escaped. At about the 40th kilometer, a good-sized chase group formed containing Tony Gallopin and Pierre Rolland.

As Martin and De Marchi were riding part way up the penultimate ascent, the first category Markstein, Martin simply rode away. Martin was never seen again until he arrived in Mulhouse. He rode the remaining 59 kilometers powerfully, never betraying weakness, his shoulders and body remains steady on the bike. He rides to the finish nearly three minutes ahead of his chasers. It was a fabulous ride.

As the chase group pulled away form the peloton, the possibility grew that the break's best placed rider, Tony Gallopin, might grab the lead. With tomorrow's brutal stage facing the contenders, the peloton's chase lacked drive and force.

Rolland, who had suffered earlier time losses, was also motivated to drive the break hard. His Europcar teammate Cyril Guatier buried himself helping pull the group. As hard as they rode, they never really cut Martin's lead by much. But, they came into Mulhouse with enough time to make Tony Gallopin the new yellow jersey, and Rolland the new eighth place.

Gallopin will have the pleasure of being a Frenchman in yellow on Bastille Day.

The Race: The big news, Alberto Contador has crashed out of the 2014 Tour de France .

The day's break went early and had lots of firepower from strong, non GC threats. But things changed when Tony Martin took Michal Kwiatkowski with him while descending the Col du Firstplan and dragged his highly placed teammate up to the break. That could not be ignored. Over the hilly course the break dropped riders and slowly lost its lead.

On the final ascent, the Planche des Belles Filles, It was just Joaquin Rodriguez and Kwiatkowski. Further back race leader Tony Gallopin was struggling.

Kwiatkowski cracked and Rodriguez pressed on. But Vincenzo Nibali and his Astana squad had been closing in all the time and near the summit Nibali passed Rodriguez to take the stage and the yellow jersey. Rodriguez did get the polka-dot jersey for his trouble.

Winner's average speed: 36.2 km/hr

Tuesday, July 15: Rest day, Besançon

Vincenzo Nibali leads the Tour after completing the brutal stage 10. "This was the hardest stage I've ever done in a Grand Tour, with seven climbs and so many crashes," he said. Of the 198 starters, there were 180 classified finishers. Here is a list of withdrawals:

• Km 148.5: Côte de Choux, 1.7 km @ 6.5% - category 3
• Km 152.5: Côte de Désertin, 3.1 km @ 5.2% - category 4
• Km 168.0: Côte d'Échallon, 3 km @ 6.6% - category 3

The Race: It took a while for the day's break to go clear. Martin Elmiger (IAM), Cyril Lemoine (Cofidis) and Anthony Delaplace (Bretagne-Séché Environnement) escaped after about 33 kilometers of racing. Their gap eventually grew to over six minutes. After about a hundred kilometers into the stage, Cannondale and Orica-GreenEdge started bringing the escapees back.

As the lumpy second-half of the stage was reached, Andrew Talansky got into trouble. At one point, clearly suffering from agonizing pain in his back after two crashes in earlier stages, he dismounted and had a long talk with staff in the team car. He got back on his bike and eventually finished more than a half hour down, but within the time limit. He can start tomorrow.

Nicolas Roche made a bid to join the break, but Omega Pharma's Tony Martin chased everyone down. Martin's high-speed descending caused a split in the pack.

Late in the stage on an unrated climb Tony Gallopin took off with Michael Rogers, Michal Kwiatkowski and Peter Sagan for company. The quartet formed a working break. Gallopin tired to get away and was brought back. Undaunted, he went again.

The other three looked at each other for just those few, crucial seconds. Too late. Gallopin had bolted and was hustling for the finish. The other three were quickly reeled in.

Gallopin had just enough of a gap to take his hands off the bars to salute the crowd. Nice ride.

The top of the GC ranks remained unchanged except that Rui Costa was on the wrong side of the peloton split and dropped out of the top 10.

• Km 58.5: Col de Brouilly, 1.7 km @ 5.1% average gradient - category 4
• Km 83.0: Côte du Saule-d'Oingt, 3.8 km @ 4.5% - category 3
• Km 138: Col de Brosses, 15.3 km @ 3.3%, category 3
• Km 164: Côte de Grammond, 9.8km @ 2.9%, category 4

The Race: Andrew Talansky was unable to start stage 12 .

Five riders were allowed to escape early in the stage: Sebastian Langeveld (Garmin-Sharp), Gregory Rast (Trek), Simon Clarke (Orica), David De La Cruz (NetApp) and Florian Vachon (Bretagne-Séché).

De la Cruz suffered a nasty fall while rounding a corner and abandoned with a broken collarbone.

The other four pressed on, but the kilometers took their toll. By the final climb Simon Clarke was alone, but with two Europcar riders chasing him, Perrig Quémeneur and Cyril Gautier. The pair caught Clarke just as they crested the final climb, the Côte de Grammond.

While the peloton ramped up its high-speed chase, Quémeneur was dropped from the break. Near the finish Gautier and Clarke were caught, setting things up for a big sprint finale.

But, the speedy chase over the technical final kilometers split the peloton. Among the missing from the front group were Marcel Kittel and yesterday's winner, Tony Gallopin. With about three kilometers remaining André Greipel and Sylvain Chavanel fell. After they remounted, Griepel was seen griping at the Frenchman, seeming to blame Chavanel for the crash.

Cannondale, which had been missing from the front all day, tried to impose its will on the pack, but it was chaos. Katusha's Alexander Kristoff chose Omega Pharma's Matteo Trentin's wheel in the sprint. It must have been a good choice because Kristoff, after patiently waiting for the right moment, pounced and won the stage with Peter Sagan second. Sagan has still to win a stage in this year's Tour, though he has a commanding lead in the points classification.

Vincenzo Nibali finished in the front group, 25th, and remains the overall leader.

• Km 24.0: Col de la Croix de Monvieux, 8 km @ 4.1% average gradient - category 3
• Km 152.0: Col de Palaquit, 14.1 km @ 6.1% average gradient - category 1
• Km 197.5: Montée de Chamrousse, 18.2 km @ 7.3% - Hors Category

The Race: Today's first day in the high mountains didn't lack for drama or surprises.

On the day's second climb, the first-category Col de Palaquit, Cannondale's Alessandro de Marchi went solo. He pressed on and when he started the 2014 Tour's first hors category climb, the ascent to Chamrousse, he was still alone and being chased by Jan Bakelants.

The day had been raced at a very high speed and in real heat. When the peloton started ascending the Chamrousse climb, it was quickly shredded and soon there were just 15 riders. Movistar, looking to set things up for an Alejandro Valverde move, had been particularly active at the front of the peloton, keeping the speed high.

Very quickly Sky's GC man, Richie Porte was dropped. Then one after another riders of the caliber of Pierre Rolland and Rui Costa were also shelled. De Marchi was caught and passed by the reduced peloton.

The first big move came NetApp-Endura's Leopold König. He attacked the fast-moving yellow-jersey peloton, taking Rafal Majka with him. Soon thereafter Alejandro Valverde made his expected attack. It was a violent and effective acceleration, but race leader Vincenzo Nibali was immediately on his wheel. They were later joined by Thibaut Pinot and Laurens Ten Dam.

Six kilometers from the finish, without making any particular attack, Nibali just rode the others off his wheel. He was soon up to and past Konig and Majka, soloing off the front. It was an extraordinary performance.

Nibali crossed the line ten seconds ahead of Majka, and more significantly, nearly a minute in front of Valverde. Still, Valverde's efforts paid off, he is now in second place with French wonder Romain Bardet third.

Several riders had a catastrophic day, including Porte, who lost about nine minutes, and Michal Kwiatkowski. Nibali's Astana teammate, Jakob Fuglsang had been sitting in tenth place, but after crashing on a descent, he was never able to regain the front group.

• Km 82: Col du Lautaret, 34 km @ 3.9% average gradient - category 1
• Km 132.5: Col d'Izoard (Souvenir Henri Desgrange), 19 km @ 6% - hors category
• Km 177: Montée de Risoul, 12.6 km @ 6.9% - category 1

The Race: Vincenzo Nibali had predicted that this would be a fearsomely difficult stage. He was sure right about that.

The speed was high from the gun and very soon seventeen riders were clear, none of whom presented a GC threat.

Wanting to take back his leadership in the mountains classification, break member Joaquin Rodriguez was first over the Col du Lautaret. After the Lautaret's descent the break's lead, which had been as much as five minutes, was down to two minutes 33 seconds.

Rodriguez was also first over the mighty Izoard, getting both the KOM points and the 5,000 Euro Souvenir Henri Desgrange prize for being the first over the Tour's highest point.

On the Izoard's descent Romain Bardet and his Ag2r teammates attempted to split the yellow jersey group. There was a furious scramble and before the final ascent to Risoul had begun, there was a general regoupment. The front break was down to eleven riders, 1 minute 47 seconds ahead of the peloton.

Sky's Geraint Thomas slaved away at the front of the break, trying to set things up for teammate Mikel Nieve. But Rafal Majka had other plans. He went solo up the final climb while in the yellow jersey group the attacks started firing off.

With four kilometers to go Nibali attacked with Jean-Christophe Péraud stuck to him like a limpet. A half-minute back Thibaut Pinot, Romain Bardet, Tejay Van Garderen with Alejandro Valderde for company were chasing. Then, astonishingly, Valverde cracked. He was dropped.

Rafal Majka is enjoying terrific form. The Tinkoff-Saxo rider crossed the line alone. A half-minute later Nibali, refusing to give any presents, beat Péraud to the line for second.

Nibali has tightened his grip on the yellow jersey. And despite faltering on the final climb, Valverde remain in second place, followed by the two feisty Frenchmen, Bardet and Pinot. What a terrific day of racing!

Stage 15 has no categorized ascents

The Race: This stage was a heartbreaker if you want hard-working breakaway riders to win races. Three minutes into today's stage Martin Elmiger (IAM Cycling) and Jack Bauer (Garmin-Sharp) left the peloton and soon had a sizeable gap. At one point the duo were almost nine minutes up the road.

Halfway through the stage light drizzle started to fall. That became a torrential rainstorm. Still, Elmiger and Bauer pressed on. The sprinters' teams nailed the gap back, but with 30 kilometers to go the pair still had two minutes.

It was a nail-biter. With three kilometers to go, Elmiger and Bauer were still a half-minute ahead. Near the finish Bauer had a gap on Elmiger as the peloton was flying up to them. Bauer was passed by a flying Alexander Kristoff with about 30 meters to go to win the stage. That makes two stage victories for Kristoff this Tour.

Vincenzo Nibali stayed close to the front most of the stage and finished safely to remain the overall leader.

Winner's average speed: 44.9 km/hr

• Km 155: Cole de Portet d'Aspet, 5.4 km @ 6.9% - category 2
• Km 176.5: Col des Ares, 6 km @ 5.2% - category 3
• Km 216: Port de Balès, 11.7 km @ 7.7% - hors category

The Race: More than twenty riders escaped the field after the stage was about a third complete. When the escapees reached the day's final categorized, the hors category Port de Balès the break started to thin. Thomas Voeckler's attack reduced the group to four but in the lead-in to the finish, Voeckler wasn't doing enough work to make former world time trial champion happy. The group grew two six. Rogers went alone and won.

Since none of the break rider were GC threats, Vincenzo Nibali and Alejandro Valverde followed them in more than eight minutes later.

For BMC's Tejay Van Gardeen, the day was a catastrophe. He finished 37th, 12min 8sec after Rogers.

Vincenzo Nibali remains the GC leader with Alejandro Valverde second, at 4min 37sec

• Km 82: Col de Peyresourde , 13.2 km @ 7% - category 1

• Km 125: Montée de Saint-Lary-Soulan/Pla d'Adet, 10.2 km @ 8.3% - hors category

The Race: Today's 124.5 km stage was the year's shortest, but it was loaded with challenges; three first-category climbs before the hors category ascent to Saint-Lary-Soulan/Pla d'Adet.

There were two races going on today, the fight for the polka-dot jersey and the top GC places. Vincenzo Nibali is looking rock-solid but Alejandro Valverde's second place is takable, as well as several places further down.

Rafal Majka might well have a secured an iron grip on the mountains classification when he won today's stage, his second stage win of this Tour. He leads the competition for the polka-dot jersey 149 points to Nibali's 118 and Joaquin Rodriguez' 112.

In the brutal fight for the GC places below Nibali, Valverde emerged with his second place intact. He's 5min 26sec behind Nibali but Pinot is at six minutes and Bardet is just another eight seconds back.

Tomorrow is a hard day in the Pyrenees with the Tourmalet and a hilltop finish at Hautacam. Nibali and Astana may be fortress-strong, but the places below Nibali are going to be in play tomorrow.

• Km 145: Montée du Hautacam, 13.6 km @ 7.8% - hors category

The Race: Vincenzo Nibali proved his is a deserving yellow jersey when he left the peloton at will and finished alone in the 2014 Tour's final mountain stage, extending his lead to 7min 10sec.

For Alejandro Vlaverde, the day was a catastrophe. He tried an attack on the descent of the Tourmalet, but cracked badly on the climb to Hautacam. The Spaniard lost enough time to fall from second to fourth place. Young rider classification leader Thibaut Pinot now sits in second place, albeit more than seven minutes behind Nibali.

With fifteen seconds separating second from fourth place, the Saturday 54 km individual time trial will be crucial. Pinot has no illusions, considering himself the least capable time trialist of the three (Pinot, Jean-Christophe Péraud and Valverde) in the hunt for second place. Valverde is the reigning Spanish time-trial champion.

• Km 195.5: Côte de Monbazillac, 1.3 km @ 7.6% average gradient - category 4

The Race: What a wet, miserable day!

Before the rainy day was even twenty kilometers old, five riders had established themselves as the working break: Rein Taaramäe (Cofidis), Cyril Gautier (Europcar), Martin Elmiger (IAM), Arnaud Gérard (Bretagne) and Tom-Jelte Slagter (Garmin). None were GC threats, but the break was never allowed to gain even a four-minute lead.

As the race closed in on the day's only categorized climb, the Côte de Monbazillac, the steam was coming out of the break. Tom-Jelte Slagter, in what turned out to be a planned set-piece, left the break. Then, on the ascent Ramunas Navardauskas blasted away from the field, bridged up to teammate Slagter and then kept right on going. It looked for a while as if he were going to be caught, but misfortune did not strike Navardauskas the way it did teammate Jack Bauer a few days ago. Navardauskas drove across the line with seven seconds in hand for a lovely stage win.

His chances were improved because of a big fall at the front of the peloton, ruining Peter Sagan's chances. Because the crash occurred with less than three kilometers to go, there was no change to the GC.

Vincenzo Nibali finished safely and need only ride a decent time trial and stay upright Sunday to win the 2014 Tour de Frace.

Stage 20 has no categorized ascents

The Race: The 2014 Tour de France is almost in our rear view mirror. The time trial made for a few serious changes to the GC. While there was no surprise in Tony Martin's commanding stage win today, Alejandro Valverde folded today, giving up third place to Jean-Christophe Péraud, despite Péraud's puncture.

Young rider classification leader Thibaut Pinot challenged Péraud for third place, but ultimately came up a half-minute short. He'll be back.

Tejay Van Garderen had a good day and good fortune, being able to ride into fifth place ahead of Romain Bardet. Bardet wasn't so lucky, getting a flat close to the end of his ride.

Biggest heartbreak might have been Bauke Mollema's ride. The Dutchman was 140th, 9min 26sec slower than Martin. Mollema is better than that. Mollema slid to 10th place, 21min 24sec behind Nibali.

Nibali rode strongly and smothly to extend his lead still further.

Km 31: Côte de Briis-sous-Forges - category 4

The Race: The stage started with a leisurely ride to Paris with the usual champagne toasts. But once the peloton hit the Champs Elysées, it was, "Katy, bar the door!" Sylvain Chavanel blasted off at the first possible moment and from there on the speed was high and the aggression unrelenting.

There was a scare when Jean-Christophe Péraud flatted and had to chase the fast-moving peloton, endangering his second place. But Péraud is a capable time trialist and was quickly back in the peloton. Nibali had signalled to the field that they should ease-up for a moment to let the Frenchman catch on.

The sprinters' teams tried to get the their lead-outs organized, but the speed was high and the attacks seemed to prevent most teams getting a good set-up. It came down to Alexander Kristoff getting the best jump, but Marcel Kittel came up next to him. Then, Kittel just started to go faster than Kristoff could, probably because Kristoff had flatted earlier and been forced to mount a chase.

Kristoff won the stage, giving Germany seven stage wins this year, and Kittel wins in both the first and last stages, a feat he had accomplished last year as well.

Vincenzo Nibali finished safely in the field to win the 2014 Tour de France, an accomplishment for which there should be no apology. If his competitors could not finish the race, the failing is theirs, not his. They all started in good order. That's why winning the Tour de France is a big deal. It's really hard to do.
