Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard becomes the first man from his country to win the Tour de France since Bjarne Riis in 1996.
Jonas Vingegaard has come home safely to win the Tour de France in Paris while Jasper Philipsen powered to victory on the final stage on the Champs-Elysees.
Denmark's Vingegaard, the star of the all-conquering Jumbo-Visma team, had effectively sealed his triumph in Saturday's time trial and was shepherded home on the largely ceremonial 21st and final stage on Sunday. The 25-year-old Vingegaard became the first Danish rider to win cycling’s biggest race since Bjarne Riis in 1996.
Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar, winner of the two previous editions, finished second overall 3 minutes 34 seconds behind Vingegaard, while Britain's former champion Geraint Thomas took third place. Belgian Philipsen took the final sprint as Australian star Caleb Ewan once again missed out, finishing eighth on the stage after never being in the right position.
