The Tour de France, defined by further doping controversy and dominated by relative unknowns, has come to an exciting conclusion:

1653: Italian Daniele Bennati clinches stage 20 of the Tour de France in a bunch sprint finish as Alberto Contador claims a remarkable win in the overall classification.

The Spaniard is the first first rider to win both the white and yellow jerseys in the Tour de France since Jan Ullrich in 1997.

The stage win is Bennati's second of the 2007 race.

1649: The Lampre-Fondital team is at the head of the peloton with just over a one kilometre to go.

1648: Just under 4km left and everything is set up for that much anticipated bunch sprint.

Any of you lucky enough to be in paris to see this? It will now show up on the home page for four hours. If new developments justify it, I'll renew this flag for another cycle.
