PARIS -- The Tour de France is so full of key moments, its hard to narrow down a list of memorable moments. But here are 10 that stood out -- for better or worse and, in some cases, a bit of both.1. July 2: Historic startStage 1: Mont Saint Michel to Utah Beach, 188km When the Tour began in Normandy, many were drawn to the memory of the D-Day Invasion on Utah Beach from World War II. Some of the top cyclists even took part in a pre-race ceremony honoring those who died on that day. Once the focus switched to the race, some doubted that British sprinter Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data) could win a stage given his track training for the Rio Olympics. But he silenced those doubts, winning the stage ahead of German Marcel Kittel (Etixx-QuickStep) to take his first career yellow jersey and triggered a four-stage winning spree.2. July 5: So. Close.Stage 4: Saumur to Limoges, 237.5km OK ... it was the longest stage of the Tour, but it still finished with the whirl of speed and spinning wheels that make up a bunch sprint. Kittel was under immense pressure to come up with a win after being beaten by Cavendish on Stage 1. He got the win, barely. It took a photo finish to show that he edged out Frenchman Bryan Coquard (Direct Energie). One felt for Kittels joy and Coquards lament.3. July 9: Froomes daring descentStage 8: Pau to Bagnères de Luchon, 184km The totally unexpected and equally exciting descent by Chris Froome on the Col de Peyresourde in the Pyrénées to the finish left everyone gobsmacked -- not least of which his rivals -- especially considering that descent was seen as one of his rare weaknesses. His stage win by 13 seconds over Irishman Dan Martin (Etixx-QuickStep) saw him take the yellow leaders jersey, which he did not relinquish for the rest of the race.4. July 10: Rain, rain, rainStage 9: Vielha Val dAran to Andorra Arcalis, 184.5km Plenty of credit is due to Dutchman Tom Dumoulin (Giant-Alpecin) for his stage win at the first summit finish of the Tour in conditions that turned horrendous -- rain, then hail and wind. He won in a solo break by 38 seconds over Portugals Rui Costa (Lampre-Merida). But the standout image of the day was that of smiling Colombian Jarlinson Pantano (IAM) riding up the final slopes holding a spectators umbrella.5. July 12: No I in teamStage 10: Escaldes-Engordany to Revel, 196km It takes something special to get into a Tour break, let alone for a team to get the majority of numbers in the winning move as Orica-BikeExchange did with Michael Matthews, Luke Durbridge and Daryl Impey making the final seven-rider split. A break loaded with numbers from one team should always win, but it is easier said than done. In a brilliant display of teamwork, Orica was superb, with Matthews winning his first career Tour stage.6. July 13: More magic from FroomeStage 11: Carcassonne to Montpellier, 162.5km Having already pulled one rabbit out of his hat, Froome delved into it again in the final kilometres. Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) attacked into the cross wind, and Froome pounced into his slipstream. Soon he, Sagan, and Geraint Thomas (Sky) and Sagans teammate Maciej Bodnar had distanced the peloton. Froome finished second behind Sagan to gain six seconds, but the move reinforced his brazen intent to catch his rivals off guard, and early.7. July 14: The motor bike incidentStage 12: Montpellier to Mont Ventoux, 178km The defining image of this Tour will be of Froome running through the crowds without his bike after he, Australian Richie Porte (BMC) and Dutchman Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) crashed into the television motor bike blocked by crowds. This is not a highlight considering how it happened and the questions raised later about why barriers had not been placed on a finishing straight shortened due to winds at the summit.8. July 16: All Cavendish, all the timeStage 14: Montélimar to Villars les Dombes, 208.5km Cavendishs second stage win earlier in the race brought him level with Bernard Hinault for the second-most Tour stage wins of all time (28). By the time he claimed his fourth of this Tour and 30th overall at Stage 14, he was only four behind the all-time mark held by Eddy Merckx. Beating Norwegian Alexander Kristoff (Katusha), Cavendish won in style with a four-finger victory salute. Three days later on rest day No. 2 in Berne, Cavendish left the Tour to focus on the Rio Olympics.9. July 22: Bardets bold moveStage 19: Albertville to Saint Gervais Mont Blanc Froomes crash with Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) was understandably high drama. But the stage win by Romain Bardet (Ag2r) deserved a massive thumbs-up for guts and guile. The bottleneck for podium places was extremely tight at the time, and Bardet, starting the day in fifth place overall, showed plenty of panache to take the race on. He not only won the stage but moved up to second at 4:11 behind Froome and shored up his podium spot.10. July 21: The time trialStage 18: Sallanches to Megève. Mountain time trial, 17km Time trials make for long and often tedious days for all on a Tour, but there is always the crescendo to the final riders on whom the outcome could make or break their race. Froome was last off as overall leader and won the stage to extend his lead, showing he was clearly the strongest rider.
