HAUTACAM France (Reuters) - Vincenzo Nibali proved once again he has no serious rivals in the Tour de France when he powered to victory in the final mountain stage on Thursday, all but securing his maiden title in impressive fashion.

The Italian, looking to become the sixth man to win all three grand tours, snatched his fourth stage win by easing away from the group of favourites early in the final ascent to Hautacam, a 13.6-km climb at an average gradient of 7.8 per cent.
