The 140-mile ride from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne to Annonay-Davezieux featured two big climbs, but did not change the top of the standings because Wiggins and his main rivals finished together. Millar punched the air as he edged Frenchman Jean-Christophe Peraud at the line in a two-man sprint — five seconds ahead of three others also in the breakaway on the Granier pass.

He also became the fourth Briton to The victory was also a vindication for Garmin- Sharp, which had a terrible first week when it lost two top riders to crashes: Giro d'Italia winner Ryder Hes- jedal of Canada and Tom Danielson of the U.S. ''For me, personally, it's enormous,'' Millar said. ''Today I kind of wanted to show that we're still here, and show that Garmin- Sharp is still one of the best teams in the world.''

Redd, Hill and the rest of the Nittany Lions are trying to weather another stormy period after former FBI Direc- tor Louis Freeh's inves- tigation of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal conclud- ed that Paterno and three other top school officials concealed alle- gations against his for- mer defensive coordina- tor. Most Nittany Lions, before a player-orga- nized charity event Fri- day, said they didn't watch the news confer- ence Thursday about the probe, but had at least heard of the findings. Nearly all the Nittany Lions declined com- ment about the report itself, trying to refocus attention for the ''Uplifting Athletes'' charity event for which they had gathered to raise money for the Kid- ney Cancer Association. ''It has nothing to do with us,'' Redd said about the findings. ''We're just talking about this event and this season.'' Cyclists go to 13th stage. But Redd said his opinion of Paterno, the coach that recruited him to Penn State, hadn't changed. He said Pater- no, in his view, remained ''the best col- lege football coach of all time.''
