NOTE

 

The final stage might be familiar but this year everything changes. A start inside the Palace of Versailles sees the race cross the Chevreuse valley, popular with local cyclos before reaching Paris for a finish with a difference. The race will use the entire length of the Champs Elysées, circling the Jardin des Tuileries at one end and the Arc de Triomphe at the other for a full lap. If this isn’t spectacular enough it will be held as the sunsets and the Patrouille de France airforce will serenade the race. If Paris is in summer then there will surely never have been a stage finish as grand as this.

“For me, what this represents – the journey I've taken to get here from where I've started, riding on a little mountain bike on dirt roads in Kenya – and to be here the yellow jersey at the Tour de France... it's difficult for me to put into words. This really has been an amazing journey for me. The race has been a fight every single day. Crosswinds, rain, mountains... on one occasion I was riding on my own to the finish at others I was surrounded by team-mates all the way."

“It's a special day for Colombia, especially since it is the national holiday. I think of course, about my family and friends who are there. The former Colombian riders have marked the history of cycling, but we are a new generation, who saw something important today.”

500 former riders who completed at least one edition of the Tour de France have gathered in Paris to celebrate the 100th edition of the race. Sunday's stage ends late in the evening with spectacular celebration apparently being organised by ASO.
