John Christen (19 years old) almost drew a line under the final victory at the Future Tower, the Tour de France reserved for those under 23. The Argovian hopeful lost 3’19” on the leader of the general classification, the American Matthew Riccitello, at the end of the 7th stage, disputed in two parts this Saturday: a morning time trial between Montricher- Albanne and the Karellis (11.1 km), then 70 km between the Savoyard resort and the Mont-Cenis pass. 8th in qualifying, 1’44” behind Riccitello, Jan Christen crossed the finish line in 17th position in the afternoon.
