Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard secured his first Tour de France victory as Jasper Philipsen of Belgium sprinted to victory on the final stage in Paris.
Philipsen was an easy winner on the Champs-Elysees while Vingegaard, 25, finished alongside his Jumbo-Visma team-mates after three weeks of racing.
He beat last year’s champion Tadej Pogacar by two minutes 43 seconds in the general classification.
Britain’s former winner Geraint Thomas came third overall.
He has now been on the Tour podium three times in his career.
The runner-up last year, Vingegaard also claimed the polka dot king of the mountains jersey, while team-mate Wout van Aert won the points classification green jersey.
Pogacar, 23, had to settle for the white jersey as the best young rider after his dream of a third straight Tour title was ended in the mountains.
He wore the yellow jersey for five stages but a damaging attack from Vingegaard on the Col du Granon on stage 11 was the decisive moment that saw the Dane take a lead he never relinquished.
