L'Alpe d'Huez (France): Chris Froome won his second Tour de France title following yesterday's 21st and final stage to Paris. Germany's Andre Greipel won the stage, his fourth this year, ahead of Frenchman Bryan Coquard and Alexander Kristoff of Norway. Froome crossed the line arm-in-arm with his Sky teammates to clinch a second Grand Boucle crown following his 2013 success.

Colombian Nairo Quintana finished second overall with his Spanish Movistar teammate Alejandro Valverde taking third, his best finish at the Tour at the age of 35. Rain rendered the cobbles at the finish on the Champs Elysees dangerous so organisers ASO neutralised the race the moment it reached Paris.
