Reigning champion Lance Armstrong wrapped up his fourth consecutive Tour de France title, while Robbie McEwen and Baden Cooke swept to an Australian one-two finish on the 20th and final stage from Melun to Paris.

Armstrong cruised home in the main peloton maintaining his seven-minute overall advantage over second-placed Spaniard Joseba Beloki, while Lithuanian Raimondo Rumsas finished third another minute back despite a bold attempt to pinch second place late on.
