As is tradition, the last stage of the Tour is little more than a coronation parade in honor of the champion and other jersey winners, usually ending in a bunch sprint on the Champs Elysees. The 95th Tour de France was no different, with Gert Steegmans redeeming Quick Step’s Tour de France with their first stage win.
Carlos Sastre is crowned the 95th Tour de France winner! Sastre was able to make the 143 kilometer stage into Paris without incident and becomes the third straight Spainard to win the title, besting Cadel Evans by 58 seconds.
