Stage 20: Montereau - Paris

Last race post. Not that much happening in this stage, just ceremonial for Armstrong. Tom Boonen, former US Postal rider won the stage. Took a lot of shots of the crowd on the Champ-Elysées and walked out toward the Louvre. Got a few shots of the race and of the Postal team on parade on the Champ-Elysées. Short day tomorrow so this should be the last post.
