Alberto Contador did what the cycling world expected & won the maillot jaune.
The Manx Missile [Mark Cavendish] ripped the field & tore up the Champs Elysee cobbles to win the stage for the second year running - there really is no one faster at the minute with or without a team lead out - just pipped for the green jersey by 36 year old Alessandro Pettachi.
The french also had their day with Anthony Charteau winning Polka dot jersey [KoM] & Sylvan Chavanel winning most combative rider.
Andy Schlek 'the great white hope' finished runner-up for the 2nd year in a row & wore the white jersey of best young rider.
Dennis Menchov was third on the poduim
