Czech cyclist Kreuziger set to come ninth in Tour de France for second consecutive year

The Czech cyclist Roman Kreuziger looks set to come ninth in the Tour de France for the second year in a row. The Liquigas rider was in ninth overall following the penultimate stage on Saturday and is very likely to hold on to the position in Sunday’s final stage, which finishes in Paris and is at 102.5 kilometres the shortest of the Tour. Kreuziger, who is 24, was junior world champion in 2006 and has to date won the Tour de Romandie, the Tour de Suisse and the Tour of Sardinia.
