Cycling: Tour de France adds Montmartre to last stage

# Cycling: The Tour de France will make three circuits of the historic Paris district of Montmartre on its last stage. The new format of the final stage on 27 July is unlikely to decide who wins the 21-day race, but it adds a new edge. The riders will race 16.8-kilometre in Montmartre before the peloton heads to the Champs-Elysees where it will complete three circuits, instead of the previous eight, and end with a mass sprint in the shadow of the Arc de Triomphe.
