Verbier, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Alberto Cantador showed that he was not just the leader of his Astana team but also this year’s tour with a storming attack in the last eight kilometres of stage 15 of the Tour de France, leading up to the finish at Verbier.

Teammate and rival seven times winner Lance Armstrong could do nothing to counter the acceleration of the young Spanish rider, who now leads by more than a minute. Bradley Wiggins, holder of three Olympic gold medals for pursuit, kept British hopes alive as he moved into third place in the classification, less than two minutes behind Cantador.
