Caravan Completed It’s time to crown the winner. And to reflect. What will we remember from this Tour de France? It has no obvious ambushes in the shape of cobbled roads, but it is very mountainous with an unprecedented three finishes above 2 000m. Will we see another British success? The first victory by a Colombian? The French success that’s been awaited since 1985 and Bernard Hinault’s fifth victory? Assuming the race has gone smoothly and passed without controversy, the verdict of these 128km will undoubtedly be a good one. All that lies ahead is one final and beautiful bunch sprint at the moment when the sun sets on the Champs-Élysées... TIMETABLE To ride AS THE SUN SETS… KILOMETRES
