Fedrigo wins with late burst

Frenchman Pierrick Fedrigo held his nerve to out-sprint Salvatore Commesso and seal a thrilling win in stage 14 of the Tour de France today as Oscar Pereiro retained the yellow jersey.

The 27-year-old, riding for the Bouygues Telecom team, launched a stunning late assault to overtake Commesso just yards from the finish and clinch victory in the 180km stage from Montelimar to Gap.
