144 km
The final stage of the
92nd Tour de France is also the final stage of the career of Lance
Armstrong, who will hear the Star Spangled Banner for the seventh year
in the row atop the Tour de France podium. But first, Armstrong must first
cross the Cat 4 climb of Cote de Gif-sur Yvette after 57km, then the sprint
at Chatenay-Malabry after 57km, then the traditional criterium of 8 6.5km
laps on the Champs-Elysees in Paris, before the final sprint and final
moment of Lance Armstrong's professional cycling career.

rider had made Saint-Etienne his home and died here in a crash in Paris-Nice
in March, 2003. The second ITT of the Tour will be ridden over a hilly
55km parcours north of St. Etienne. With the Tour now seeming firmly won
by Lance Armstrong, Jan Ullrich will be looking to jump past Michael Rasmussen
and on to the podium.

Stage 16 - Tuesday, July 19: Mourenx - Pau, 180.5 km

stage of the 92nd Tour de France. Starting west of Pau in Mourenx, Stage

ascent at7.7%, then up the legendary Col d'Aubisque, the final hors categorie
climb of the Tour. Aubisque is 16.5km long at 7%, then it's 72km back
over rolling terrain to Pau, with only a small Cat.4 Cote de Pardies-Pietat
with 20km to race likely to be a springboard for the winning attack.

Rest Day - Monday, July 18: Pau
Fifteen down, six to go: This year's Tour de France is entering its
crucial final stage and at this point it looks likely that Lance Armstrong
will ride off into the sunset with a historic seventh consecutive win
in his pocket. Team CSC's Ivan Basso is the only rider within shouting
distance of Big Tex; with a long time trial coming on Saturday, he'll
need to get serious time back before then.
