The lede-out, stage 20 : Everything you need to know about the TDF today

Contador, inspired in yellow, survives the time trial. Can he do it for one more day? Does he need to?

Well, in spite of everything, it was a very exciting conclusion to this year's TDF. Or was it? Given the fact that the three podiums (podia?) are separated by less than a minute, and given that there are time bonuses for sprints along the way in tomorrows final stage... well? The question is whether the peloton really believes that the stage is ceremonial, and whether it is fair game to win the yellow jersey on the Champs Elysees.

I don't know my TDF history well enough to speculate, but perhaps you do? Drop a line... (VeloNews has some interesting speculation here)
