 ANGOULEME, France (AP) - Battered by scandal and doping embarrassments, the Tour de France might actually have stumbled upon a sliver of good news. A competitive finish.
Alberto Contador of Spain and Cadel Evans of Australia could win or lose the race during Saturday's time trial. The race ends Sunday in Paris along the Champs-Elysees.
A slim margin of 1 minute, 50 seconds separates the two riders, each going for a first victory in this event and suddenly thrust into the spotlight after the ouster of former overall leader Michael Rasmussen.
