Summary:
Breaking away: It was Marco Pantani's late break that won Stage 15, but the big surge of the day came from fourth-place finisher Lance Armstrong. With only six stages left, the 28-year-old American moved even closer to his second straight Tour victory, extending his overall lead to seven minutes, 26 seconds over second-placed Jan Ullrich of Germany.

(Societe du Tour de France) |
Perched at 1,326 meters Briançon is France's highest city. The sun is said to shine 300 days a year in Briançon. In partnership with Serre-Chevalier, 250 kilometers of ski slopes are on offer.
Ever a cycling town, Briançon this year alone will play host to the Giro, Dauphiné Libéré and Tour de France.
Located at the heart of the Three Valleys Skiing Domain (the world's largest with 200 ski lifts and over 600 kilometers of slopes), the ski resort of Courchevel became an Olympic sight in 1992 when it held the ski jump competitions.
Hosting the Tour is only one of the many sporting events to take place in the resort, including world cup skiing races each winter.
