France shakes up tradition to rescue wine sales
July 22, 2004  By France.com 

Facing increasing competition from New World wines, French wine-makers have been struggling to survive as their share of world sales has plummeted.

Following crisis talks between vintners and the agriculture minister, Hervé Gaymard, yesterday, the French government announced a raft of new measures to help rescue the nation’s beleaguered wine industry.

The government also said it would double funds to promote French wine abroad and would permit new forms of wine-making technology used in wine production elsewhere but banned in France, such as the use of wood chips to add flavour.

Armstrong Wins Tour de France Stage 17, Extends Lead
July 22, 2004  By France.com 

July 22 (Bloomberg) — Lance Armstrong won the 17th stage of the Tour de France, his third straight success, to extend his lead with three days left in cycling’s biggest event.

Armstrong, seeking a record sixth victory in the 101-year- old race, edged Andreas Kloden, Jan Ullrich and Ivan Basso in a sprint finish. He clocked 6 hours, 11 minutes and 52 seconds for the 204.5-kilometer (128-mile) trip over five mountains, an average speed of 33 kilometers per hour.

The Texan crossed the finish-line one second ahead of Ullrich and Basso and, with a 20-second win bonus, stretched his overall lead to 4 minutes and nine seconds over second-place Basso. Kloden is more than five minutes off the lead, with 1997 winner Ullrich eight minutes behind Armstrong.
