CANTERBURY(England): Australian sprint star Robbie McEwen won the first stage of the Tour de France on Sunday, leading a mass sprint in the ride from London across the English countryside. McEwen outpaced the trailing pack across the finish line in the flat 203-kilometer (126-mile) route to Canterbury that favoured sprinters, clocking 4 hours, 39 minutes and 1 second. Norway’s Thor Hushovd was second and Belgian Tom Boonen was third. McEwen won despite getting tangled up in a group crash with less than 20 kilometers (12 miles) to go. “This is definitely one of the best ever. After the crash I hurt myself — hurt my wrist — but the boys brought me back,” McEwen said of his Predictor-Lotto squad. “I still can’t believe I won this stage.”— AP
