Wiggins Nears Tour Victory as Cavendish Wins Stage Eighteen
Bradley Wiggins edged toward becoming Britain’s first Tour de France champion while teammate Mark Cavendish won the 18th stage in a sprint. The Sky team set up a textbook finish on 138 miles from Blagnac to Brive-la-Gaillarde, with Cavendish sealing the win ahead of Matt Goss and Peter Sagan. The overall leaders remained unchanged with Wiggins atop the standings by 2:05 over Christopher Froome. The stage featured a mid-race dog-caused crash involving Philippe Gilbert and Denis Menchov, but the pack maintained control. The remaining major test is a 33 mile time trial from Bonneval to Chartres.
