Swinging out of the tunnel under the Place du Concorde and around the "Norwegian Corner" the sprinter's lead out men are at full bore as they race under the final Flame Rouge of the 100th Tour de France. The red kite denotes just one kilometer left to the finishing line and it is time for the fast men to have their lead out men at full speed if they want to be first across the line. This Tour has had wonderful sprints with four fast men competing for stage victories. Peter Sagan easily won the Green Jersey of most consistent sprinter, but only manage a single stage victory on a small mountain stage. But then the Malliot Vert is for consistency and he was second and third more than any single sprinter won stages. Today he didn't even make the top three in the mad dash for the line.
