Tour de France Weekend Review

Friday saw the fourth British stage win when David Millar of the Garmin Sharp Team took the honours in a breakaway sprint.

Stage 13 saw strong winds and a steep but small climb destroy the hopes of some of the sprinters but on the line it came down to the two most prolific stars of the 2 weeks so far with Peter Sagan just being pipped to the line by  Andre Greipel in a photo finish

Stage 14 saw controversy with the staged sabotaged resulting in the main field rolling in together over 18 min down on the winner following over 30 punctures caused by tacks thrown on the road. However upfront that man again Peter Sagan took another podium spot beaten this time by Luis Leon Sanchez . Sagan might not be the fastest sprinter but he’s a fighter and deserves his green jersey.
