PARIS (Reuters) -The final stage of this year's Tour de France promises to be a competitive affair as the traditional procession towards the Champs Elysees has been replaced with a demanding route.
The 21st stage will set off from Mantes-la-Ville before going up the Butte Montmartre three times - the hill that decided the fate of the Olympics road race last year - and finishing on the Champs Elysees.
