Bennati wins on the Champs-Elysees

The 2007 Tour de France has been anything but dull

After three weeks of racing, it's all over for the 142 riders left in the Tour

Contador gets a specially painted Trek Madone for the final stage - he's a lucky chap...

Daniel Bennati took his second win in as many days on the final stage in Paris today. Holding of Thor Hushovd, Erik Zabel and Robert Hunter, Bennati turned the final page of what has been an intriguing Tour de France.

Alberto Contador safely come home, sheltered by his Discovery Channel team, to retain the yellow jersey and win the 2007 Tour de France. Cadel Evans and Levi Leipheimer both made it safely across the line for second and third places respectively.
