Froome Wins 2016 Tour de France
Becomes fourth three-time Tour winner; Greipel finally grabs a stage win in Paris
Keep your cycling spirits high post-Tour with Bicycling 's daily newsletter!
Greipel had come close to a stage win in the first week of the Tour de France, but after mistiming his jump on both Stage 1 and 3, seemed to wilt under the growing pressure of the near-misses. On Stage 6, he ran out of gas; he didn’t crack the top five in the big bunch sprints on Stages 11 and 14. But Greipel, who has won a stage in the Tour every year dating to 2011, made good in his last attempt on Stage 21.
The final stage, from Chantilly to Paris, got its usual promenade-like start, with champagne toasts and camera opportunities, but the racing turned real as the riders entered the inner ring and began the first of nine laps of the famous boulevard of the Champs-Élysées.
None of the breakaway attempts could withstand the speed of the chasing pack, but neither could a single team control the leadout, as Lotto-Soudal vied with other teams for the front. Katusha seemed to have it right, but left sprinter Alexander Kristoff a bit short of the line. Greipel, on the wheel, pounced and held off a fast-closing Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) for the win.

Top Moment German sprinter Marcel Kittel (Etixx—Quick-Step) had an untimely flat tire with 22 miles to go, but what followed was a comedy of errors.
A mechanic quickly pulled a spare bike from the car but Kittel discovered as he got going that it, too, had a flat tire. Disgusted, he pulled the wheel out and threw it at his team car as his mechanic rushed to get him a spare. Then, as he remounted a second time, the bike's chain derailed. The sequence of events left him more than a minute behind the pack. An extended chase scene, with copious amounts of drafting the team car, managed to get him back up front, but entirely absent during the whole time were any teammates; even when he got back up to the pack, none were to be found waiting for him.
Either gassed from the chase or concerned about a possible DQ from the jury, Kittel didn’t even contest the sprint.
It was overall not a great day for Etixx, which lost Tony Martin to a bizarre late-race DNF due to excruciating knee pain just 40km from the finish. The silver lining: Even after his own late-race flat, Dan Martin managed to regain the pack and finish in the first group, moving up one spot to eighth overall.
Why It Matters Chris Froome now joins the ranks of three-time Tour winners: Philippe Thys (1913, 1914, and 1920); Louison Bobet (1953, 1954, and 1955); and Greg LeMond (1986, 1989, and 1990), and will almost certainly go for his fourth next year.
Froome is 31 years old—trending toward the upper age range for likely Tour winners—but with his personal and team dominance at Sky, he certainly has a good shot to join the ranks of even five-time winners. Sky, meanwhile, have now won four of the past five Tours.

What You May Have Missed •All time gaps at the finish were taken before the crossing of the line, despite the absence of major crashes. That helped save Joaquim Rodriguez’s seventh-place overall. He came across in a group 31 seconds behind the lead pack, and would have dropped to 10th, except race officials took time at an earlier point. The decision also negated any time loss from Froome’s overall lead that would have resulted from him sitting up and crossing with his teammates, over a minute behind the sprint. •After 89 hours of racing across three weeks and 3,529 kilometes, Rodriguez and Lampre-Merida’s Louis Meintjes crossed the finish line tied on time to the second . Rodriguez gets the higher GC placing by virtue of higher overall stage finishes. •Aside from Froome, the final jersey winners were Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) for the green-jersey points competition; Rafal Majka (Tinkoff) for the polka-dot KOM competition; and Adam Yates (Orica-BikeExchange) for the white-jersey best young rider competition. Yates also finished fourth overall. Sagan was awarded the “Super Combativité” prize for the race’s most aggressive rider. Movistar won the team competition. And while it’s not an official classification, Sam Bennett (Bora-Argon 18) “wins” the Lanterne Rouge, or the race’s last-placed finisher on overall time.
The Tour de France, By the Numbers:
Some Final Numbers •198: number of starters in Mont Saint Michel three weeks ago •174: number of finishers—the most in Tour de France history •14: days in the yellow jersey for Chris Froome, who took it on Stage 8 and never gave it up •12: different teams to win a stage •9: different nations to claim a stage win •7: stage wins by British riders, the most in that country’s history. They also won the overall and best young rider competitions—quite the haul. •6: teams to finish with all nine riders: Sky, Astana, Ag2r-La Mondiale, LottoNL-Jumbo, Lampre-Merida and Fortuneo-Vital Concept.

Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas on stage 21 of the 2016 Tour de France
Chris Froome (Team Sky) elevated himself further among the cycling greats by winning the 2016 Tour de France in Paris on Sunday, his third Tour victory.
Froome took the lead after winning stage eight of the 103rd edition of the race and never looked back. He survived running up Mont Ventoux and crashing in the Alps to secure the historic victory.
Froome finished the race four minutes and five seconds ahead of Frenchman Romain Bardet (Ag2r La Mondiale), with Nairo Quintana (Movistar) in third at 4-21.
Along with Froome's overall win and two stage wins, plus four stage wins for Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data) and one for Steve Cummings (Dimension Data), British success continued with Adam Yates (Orica-BikeExchange) securing the white jersey of best young rider and placing fourth overall. It's the first time a British rider has ever topped the best young rider classification and has now set him up as an exciting new Grand Tour prospect.
German sprinter André Greipel (Lotto-Soudal) won the bunch sprint at the end of the final stage, out-pacing points classification winner Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) to the line. Alexander Kristoff (Katusha) was third. British sprinter Dan McLay was 12th, having completed his first Tour.
It's Greipel's sole stage victory in the 2016 race, and is his 11th Grand Tour since 2008 with at least one stage victory.
Before the frantic finale, the traditional procession after the start of the last stage saw a slow pace as riders chatted and got to enjoy rolling along in the warm, sunny weather. Froome and Sky team-mates indulged in an unconventional bottle of beer followed by a more conventional glass of Champagne.

It wasn't until the race hit the Champs Élysées that the pace picked up and a break formed with 50km to go.
Jan Barta (Bora), Marcus Burghardt (BMC), Rui Costa (Lampre-Merida), Lawson Craddock (Cannondale-Drapac), Brice Feillu (Fortuneo-Vital Concept), Alexis Gougeard (Ag2r-La Mondiale), Jérémy Roy (FDJ) and Daniel Teklehaimanot (Dimension Data) were the eight riders to finally get away.
Marcel Kittel (Etixx-QuickStep) suffered a technical mishap, and was seen throwing his rear wheel across the road after a couple of bike changes. He then paced himself back up to the bunch without the help of team-mates, but the effort would see him out of the running in the final sprint.
The break was joined by Sky duo Luke Rowe and Wout Poels, who bridged over with 18km to go evidently trying to get rid of any unexpended energy from the previous three weeks.

All escapees were caught with 10km to go, and the bunch was still all together with one lap of the cobbled loop and 6.6km to go. It took a while for the sprinters' teams to get organised at the front, with a jumble of riders initially jostling for position.
A couple of late crashes took out a few riders, and French sprinter Bryan Coquard (Direct Energie) appeared to suffer from a puncture with 3km to go, his hope of a stage win over.
The tight corners into the finish straight disrupted Greipel's Lotto-Soudal sprint train, but he jumped on Kristoff's rear wheel and accelerated away on the cobbles. Sagan was gaining on him as Kristoff faded, but Greipel lunged clear on the line to win on the Champs Élysées for a second consecutive year.
Tony Martin (Etixx-QuickStep) was a surprise abandon during the final stage after suffering from knee pain during the stage. It left 174 riders left in the race, the highest ever number of finishers in the race's 103 editions – the previous record was 170 in 2010.

Chris Froome coasts home as André Greipel wins Tour’s final stage
Froome becomes first Briton to win three Tour titles Froome deserves respect for win that puts him among the greats
Chris Froome crossed the line arm-in-arm with his Team Sky team-mates to confirm victory in the 2016 Tour de France . He now joins a small group of elite cyclists in the history books and becomes Britain’s first ever three-time winner.
André Greipel won the final stage of the Tour de France, holding off the late-charging world champion, Peter Sagan, in the traditional sprint on the Champs-Élysées after racing clear of Norway’s Alexander Kristoff on the run-in.
The French hope Bryan Coquard was denied the chance to go for victory as he was held up by a late mechanical failure.
Froome was met just after the finish line by his wife, Michelle, and son, Kellan, as the celebrations began in earnest. The Team Sky rider had been able to enjoy the traditional procession into Paris, sipping champagne and drinking from a bottle of beer, before the sprinters got their moment in the capital.
There were late dramas, with Etixx-QuickStep’s Marcel Kittel hit by a mechanical problem about 30km from the finish of this 113km stage from Chantilly and Coquard pulled over with a puncture with the finish line almost in sight.
Kristoff attacked first but Greipel, with his Lotto-Soudal lead-out train doing its job on the final approach, burst clear to make sure he did not leave this Tour empty-handed.
Froome becomes only the eighth man, not counting the disgraced Lance Armstrong, to win three or more Tours and will now have his sights set on the record of five jointly held by Jacques Anquetil, Miguel Indurain, Bernard Hinault and Eddy Merckx.
The 31-year-old had to all intents sealed victory by staying upright on Saturday’s 146km stage 20 from Megève to Morzine before Sunday’s largely processional stage.
With a four-minute advantage in his pocket he was able to sit up and enjoy the moment with his team-mates, conceding time in the final metres to leave him with a final winning margin of two minutes and 52 seconds over the Frenchman Romain Bardet.

Greipel wins final stage
Chris Froome cruised to the overall victory in the Tour de France for the third time in his career, enjoying a sunny and uneventful final stage to Paris with his Sky teammates. After dominating from the first mountain stage to Luchon through the final showdown to Morzine, the Briton finished the race with more than four minutes ahead of second placed Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale) and Nairo Quintana (Movistar).

"To my teammates and support team this is your yellow jersey," Froome said from the podium. "I wouldn’t be standing here if it wasn’t for your commitment. A massive thank you to Dave Brailsford and my coach Tim Kerrison. This is one special team and I’m so proud to be part of it. To Michelle my wife and my son Kellen, your love and support make everything possible. Kellan I dedicate this victory to you."
"This Tour has taken place against the backdrop of the terrible events in Nice and we pay our respects once again to those who lost their lives. Of course these events put sport into perspective but they also show why the values of sport are so important to free society. We all love the Tour de France because it’s unpredictable but we love the Tour more for what stays the same – the passion of the fans for every nation, the beauty of the French countryside and the bonds of friendship created through sport. These things will never change."
Greipel finally comes good on stage 21
Andre Greipel (Lotto Soudal) finally opened his account at the Tour de France, winning the final stage on the Champs Elysees ahead of Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) and Alexander Kristoff (Katusha).
The German sprinter came around his main rivals inside the final 100 meters to win his first stage of this year’s race and repeat his win from Paris twelve months earlier.
Greipel and his sprint train struggled throughout this year’s Tour with timing and a number of other factors hampering them during the race, but on the biggest stage of all for the elite sprinters the Belgian team and their sprinter hit the jackpot.
They hit the front on the final 1500 meters, taking the perfect line through the last corners. Kristoff was in the leading position when he leadout man swung off but with Greipel on his wheel the writing was on the wall. The Norwegian was forced to open up his sprint first with Greipel using the Katusha rider to catapult him to victory.
Sagan, like Marianne Vos in the women's race earlier in the day, started the sprint from too far back and despite a late surge was unable to catch Greipel.
"I can't describe it. I'm just super proud of what we've achieved today," Greipel said. "I've raced for three weeks for that. The team kept believing in me. We've tried many times and never could succeed, now we won two stages with Thomas De Gendt [on Ventoux] and now me on the Champs Elysees.
"We had a good plan this morning, with the headwind I just tried to stay calm to save energy. Once we hit the front, we were one guy too short, so I chose the wheel of Kristoff which was the best today. I'm happy I could finish it off and get another Tour de France stage win."
Adam Yates (Orica-BikeExchange) completed the race as best young rider, Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) claimed his fifth consecutive points classification victory, while Rafal Majka sealed the mountains classification.
Chantilly to Paris
The stage began from Chantilly with Team Sky in a changed kit with livery of yellow to celebrate their win and the entire peloton were in high spirits with the end of race in sight.
The early stages of the day were marked with the customary photo calls and congratulations before the race proper began when the race hit the center of Paris.
Joaquim Rodriguez was given the freedom to clear of the bunch and lead the race in a mark of respect from his competitors in the peloton with the Spaniard set to retire at the end of the season. When the Katusha rider, who clearly enjoyed his moment, sat up the attacks began with an eight-man move scampering clear.
Alexis Gougeard (AG2R La Mondiale), Lawson Craddock (Cannondale-Drapac), Marcus Burghardt (BMC Racing Team), Daniel Teklehaimanot (Dimension Data), Jérémy Roy (FDJ), Jan Barta (Bora-Argon 18), Rui Costa (Lampre - Merida), and Brice Feillu (Fortuneo - Vital Concept) rolled the dice with Team Sky forfeiting the front to Direct Energie hunting the stage win for Bryan Coquard.
The break were only afforded a slender gap of 20 seconds before Team Sky sent Luke Rowe and Wout Poels up the road to join them.
Kittel crisis
Before Team Sky’s bravado came Marcel Kittel’s tantrum. The German sprinter, who came into the final stage looking for his second win of the race, was forced to change bikes three times in quick succession due to mechanical issues and although he made it back to the bunch his frustrations were clear to see when he threw a wheel into the road and then banged his handlebars.
Up ahead Lutsensko and and Greg Van Avermaet attempted a final break but they too were caught as the sprinters teams surged forward for one final dash into Paris.
