How it was won

  1. 30 km to go

    Climbing off the ramp

    The 37km test from Bourg-Saint-Andéol starts with a seven-kilometre climb to the Plateau du Laoul — no easing in, and the specialists' rhythm is broken from the first minute.

  2. 17 km to go

    Down the Col du Serre

    The descent into the Gorges de l'Ardèche is technical enough to reward the risk-takers, and Porte's fast opening — ten seconds off Dumoulin at the first check — begins to unravel here.

  3. At the line

    Dumoulin dominant at Pont-d'Arc

    On a sombre day after the attack in Nice, Tom Dumoulin climbs out of the gorge to stop the clock at 50:15, beating Froome by 1:03 and Oliveira by 1:31. There is no podium music and no sponsors — only a minute's silence and the jerseys carried out together.
