CHAMPAGNOLE, France (Reuters) - While all Tour de France riders are hoping to enjoy the final parade on the Champs-Elysees on Sunday, Thibaut Pinot has ridden through the pain with another goal in mind since a back injury ruined his dream of overall victory in cycling's greatest race.
On Saturday, the decisive individual time trial will go through Melisey, Pinot's hometown in the Franche Comte region, which comes roughly 9kms into the 36.2-km route.
