Lance to ride into Paris in third


Alberto Contador all but sealed the Tour de France title Saturday, keeping the yellow jersey after a punishing mountain ride in the next to last stage.


Lance Armstrong, the seven-time champion who came out of 3½ years of retirement, held third place overall after the dreaded climb up Mont Ventoux.


He finished in a small group that included Contador, his Astana teammate, and second-place Andy Schleck of Luxembourg.
