Overview

  • Kaden Groves claimed his first Tour de France stage win with a solo breakaway in Stage 20 after a crash on rain-slicked roads ended Iván Romeo’s bid.
  • Thymen Arensman sprinted to victory on Stage 19’s shortened Alpine route, finishing two seconds ahead of Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard.
  • Tadej Pogacar maintained the yellow jersey safely through Stage 20 and now leads Jonas Vingegaard by 4 minutes, 24 seconds with two stages remaining.
  • Jonas Vingegaard acknowledged that Pogacar has been the strongest rider and conceded the overall title has effectively been decided.
  • The finale into Paris on Sunday features a novel 132.3-kilometer course with three ascents of Montmartre, though it is unlikely to alter the general classification.
