Climbing up the highest paved road in Europe to the Bonnett summit, the tour returned to Franch from its brief sejour in Italy. As if to mark the homecoming, a Frenchman took the stage for only the second time since the tour started out. Cyril Dessel won the 157km 16th stage, and Frank Schleck from Luxemburg keeps the yellow jersey.
