NBC Sports Tour De France 2012: Stage 16 Results, Leaderboard and Highlights

Stage 16 of the Tour de France is now in the books. Frenchman Thomas Voeckler won the monstrous climbs in the Pyrenees to win the 16th stage with a time of five hours, 35 minutes and two seconds. With the stage win, Voeckler finds himself in 23rd place.

The current leader, Bradley Wiggins did his best to keep pace with his main competitors and will retain the yellow jersey for the 10th straight day. Wiggins finished the stage in 12th place, seven minutes behind Voeckler.

Wiggin's teammate Christopher Froome remained in second place overall as their team, Sky Procycling is continuing their dominance over the rest of the field.

Wiggins currently holds a two-minute lead over Froome and with just four stages remaining it would be surprising to see anyone but Wiggins win the Tour de France.
