Stage 21: Paris

 

Finally! Everyone must have been tired.  The race was about 45 minutes later than expected.  Usually there’s a break that’s exciting but today there was just a small one with Vogondy and Barredo.  They were swallowed by the peloton and the stage ended in a sprint with Belgian Steegmans winning.

 

Carlos Sastre won the race.  He had his kids on the podium and I think his son stole the show, making lots of faces and cheering.

 

Tomorrow it’s up at 5 am for the long flight home.
