The road
At the start
A 21-year-old in yellow, and Paris
Tadej Pogačar took 1:56 out of Primož Roglič up La Planche des Belles Filles yesterday and won the Tour de France on the penultimate day. He leads by 59 seconds and wears yellow, white and polka dots at once. Nothing today threatens any of it — 122 kilometres from Mantes-la-Jolie, then the Champs-Élysées, where Sam Bennett has a green jersey to see home.
How it was won
- 21 km to go
Champagne on the Champs
