Tour de France 2012, stage 14: Luis León Sánchez seizes win but Bradley Wiggins retains leader's yellow jersey The route featured two category one climbs, with the concluding 3.5km of the second, the Mur de Peguere, on a punishing gradient. But the summit of the Pyrenean peak was 38.5km from the finish and Wiggins was relatively untroubled as he rolled in as part of the peloton more than 18 minutes behind. The Briton retained a two minute five seconds lead over Team Sky colleague and compatriot Chris Froome, with Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas-Cannondale) 2mins 23secs adrift in third. Defending champion Cadel Evans (BMC Racing) began the day 3:19 behind and despite a moment of alarm when he required his rear wheel to be changed three times, he remained fourth. Wiggins required a bike change and there were early suggestions tacks had been thrown on to the road at the top of the climb, but initially it was not possible to verify the claims. Tomorrow's 158.5km 15th stage from Samatan to Pau features two category four climbs and a category three ascent and could end in a sprint finish.
