Stage 21 at the Tour de France saw André Greipel (Lotto Soudal) take his fourth stage victory on the Champs-Élysées in Paris on Sunday, to close out the three-week race. The German sprinter beat Frenchman Bryan Coquard (Europcar) and Norway's Alexander Kristoff (Katusha).
Chris Froome (Team Sky) won his second overall title at the Tour de France upon entering the circuits, as race officials called for a neutralisation of the riders' time for GC with 70 kilometres to go due to rain and slippery roads. He finished the overall race 1:12 ahead of Nairo Quintana and 5:25 to Alejandro Valverde, both from Movistar.
