Artwork Description:

Only the final stage from Longjumeau - a new stage town, in Essonne - to Paris is left, and the caravan rides France�s high-speed rail system to the northern city from Bordeaux. The Tour follows tradition, and the final stage finishes with a circuit on the Champs Elys�es, a tantalizing prize for the sprinters. With this year�s mountainous course, the final sprint victory will not come easily. All riders are relaxed and they make fun until the circuit on the Champs Elys�es. However when they pass the Eiffel Tower the speed is high, everybody are making themself ready for 10 circuits of high-speed riding. The yellow jersey (maillot jaune) is worn by the general classification leader. Since 1975, there has been a competition for young riders - the best wears the white jersey (maillot blanc). The green jersey (maillot vert) is awarded for sprint points. The King of the Mountains wears a white jersey with red dots (maillot � pois rouges).
