Welcome to live coverage of the final stage of this year's Tour de France, a 120km ride from Rambouillet to Paris. It will begin as a largely processional affair as Bradley Wiggins becomes the first ever Briton to win the Tour. But there will be a feisty finale with the expected mass bunch sprint everyone wants to win on the Champs Elysees.
