Tour de France Stage 21: Jonas Vingegaard crowned champion in thrilling finale in Paris

Jonas Vingegaard: “We run on different fuel than Lance Armstrong did”

Danish rider Jonas Vingegaard has won the Tour de France for a second straight year on Sunday on the final stage into the Champs-Élysées. With a huge lead built up over main rival Tadej Pogačar, the 2020 and 2021 winner, Vingegaard knew the victory was effectively his again before the largely ceremonial stage at the end of the 110th edition of the Tour. Vingegaard drank champagne with his Visma-Jumbo teammates as they lined up together and posed for photos on the way to Paris.

Pogačar was particularly spicy in the final stage, attacking in the final 40 km over and over, but nothing would stick. He even went for it on the final lap!

The final stage was a mad dash for the line, after everything came together. It was a photo finish with Jordi Meeus (BORA-hansgrohe) winning by a hair over Jasper Philipsen and Dylan Groenewegen.
