Summary:
Lance Armstrong maintained his lead in a stage won by Spain's Jose Vicente Garcia-Acosta. The Banesto rider broke away from the leading riders in the closing stages and brilliantly held off a challenge from two Frenchmen, Nicolas Jalabert and Pascal Herve, hoping for a Bastille Day triumph. Armstrong finished in 27th place, clocking the same time as Germany's Jan Ullrich, his only realistic rival for the title. The stage, coming between two of the toughest stages, offered some light relief to riders.

Soon to be only a 2 hour 40-minute TGV ride away from Paris, Avignon has been chosen as one of Europe's nine Cities of Culture in 2000.
Set on the outskirts of the picturesque Verdon National Park, Draguignan is essentially devoted to tourism. Many monuments grace this charming and sunny town surrounded by the vineyards of Provence.
