Stage 21: Rambouillet -> Paris Champs-Élysées
This promises to be a very emotional stage, with the memory of the final start in Yvelines and the last time-trail won by Greg LeMond in 1989. Although there may be slightly less suspense there. Many thrills are guaranteed on the final circuit. An adventure will come to an end for all the riders who take this route, and the handful of sprinters who are competing for the victory will provide a performance that is always entertaining
Here we see the winners of the Tour de France 2012.
Riblon in the mountain jersey, Evans in the Yellow jersey, Cavendish in the Green jersey, and me in the White jersey.
Sky made it a one-two with Cavendish and Boasson Hagen.
I won the Youth Classification and as a bonus I finished on the 13th place in the GC. Don’t worry I’ll be back next year for an improvement on the GC
