It's almost over!!  Three weeks of grueling pain and work are almost over.  The cheers of the crowd are barely heard over the pounding of his heart.  The biker's tired legs are ready to give out, but he wills them to hold on for just a few more minutes.  Sweat drips down his face and stings his eye, and the heat of the sun burns his skin.  It all comes down to the final 1000 meters.  He can see the finish line.  The crowd roars as he approaches.  Closer and closer.  He has to finish.  After what seems like an eternity, he crosses the line.  It's over!!  He has won the Tour de France.
