The road
At the start
Montgeron to the Champs-Élysées
Chris Froome's fourth Tour is effectively won: 54 seconds over Rigoberto Urán, who slid to a stop against the barriers in Marseille and still saved his podium, and 2:20 over Romain Bardet — third by a single second from Mikel Landa. Today begins at Montgeron, where the first Tour started in 1903, and ends with eight laps of the Champs-Élysées: champagne first, then the fastest sprint of the year.
