Tour de France heads into Paris for its final stage on Sunday. Stage 21 will follow a now traditional procession; this year from the suburb of Montereau Fault Yonne to the centre of the French capital, before the final stampede along the Champs Élysées.

Columbia-HTC's Mark Cavendish has claimed five stage wins in this year's Tour de France and will be a favourite to add a fifth on the cobbled boulevard this afternoon. As the Tour concludes, with Alberto Contador expected to claim his second title, the links below offer an opportunity to look back at the 2009 edition of the Grande Boucle:
