- The 2007 Tour de France, the 94th running of the race, took place from 7 July to 29 July 2007. The Tour began with a prologue in London, and ended with the traditional finish in Paris. Along the way, the route also passed through Belgium and Spain. It was won by Spanish rider Alberto Contador.
The Tour was marked by doping controversies, with three riders and two teams withdrawn during the race following positive doping tests, including pre-race favorite Alexander Vinokourov and his Astana team. Following Stage 16, the leader of the general classification, Michael Rasmussen, was removed from the Tour by his Rabobank team, who accused him of lying about the reasons for missing several drug tests earlier in the year.
The points classification, indicated by the green jersey, was won for the first time by Tom Boonen, who had failed to complete the previous two Tours after leading the points classification at times during each. The mountains classification, indicated by the polkadot jersey, was won by Mauricio Soler in his first Tour appearance.
The general classification, indicated by the yellow jersey, was closely contested until the final time trial on stage 19. The top three riders, Alberto Contador in the yellow jersey as the leader, Cadel Evans in second, and Levi Leipheimer in third, were separated by only 2:49, with both Evans and Leipheimer recognized as far superior time trialists to Contador. In the end, each rider held his place after the final time trial, but with considerably slimmer margins, as the Tour ended with the smallest-ever spread of only 31 seconds among the top three riders. Alberto Contador also won the young rider classification, indicated by the white jersey, as the best young (under age 25) rider.
Like others, I really appreciate these uploads, but with the abrupt cuts at the finish, we don’t even get a coherent picture of the race at the end of each stage. The finish at Ligne was shaping up to be amazing. Was it? Who knows!
Drugs or not, this was one of the most underrated tour performances by Michael Rasmussen.
Merci d'avoir posté cette étape mais ce serait encore mieux d'inscrire la ville de départ et d'arrivée. Thanx
Hey Steven, I appreciate these uploads very much. However, in this Tour, I am a little disgruntled that the stages cut off very early. We only see the first finishers, and not what is happening behind after the stage winner has finished, which is sad. Also, it would have been great to have stuck around for the result boards after the stage... the 2003 videos for instance are a lot better in that respect. Did you cut these out yourself or did you not have them available?
my feelings exactly. Still appreciate 'Steven Even' uploading the videos.
I was on my honeymoon in France in 2007 during the TDF and found it hard to know what was going on because I speak very little French. We managed to see 3 stage finishes (Briancon, Albi and Paris). What a great experience. #bucketlist
If anybody else was confused Alberto Contador had a flad tyre around the @1:28:45 I think.
thanks!
hello hello. Very good. Yes. !
Por qué no lo retransmiten en español
It's annoying how the commentators keep on mixing Alejandro Valverde and Alexandr Vinokourov!
They must have done it like 10 times. Also, Sarlos Castre lmaooo.
Michael Bogart.
armstrong would have catched rasmussen easily xD
Rogers won later on the round of Spain, he became the oldest winner ever
U mean Chris Horner
My bad, Chris Horner indeed
How very disappointing to not have the commentary to let me know what the hell is going on it would be impossible to watch if I had not seen the race before and to tell you the truth watching it in a language that I don't even understand is better because I get to see the charts and graphs then watching this lame excuse I really enjoyed all of your videos up to this I mean scores of likes dozens of saved videos playlists but this is just on satisfactory and very disappointing
Blah blah Michael Rodgers Blah Blah.
