Chris Froome seals third Tour de France victory on Champs-Élysées

Greipel triumphs in the final Sprint on the Champs-Élysées

Sharing beer and Champagne with teammates, Chris Froome celebrated his third Tour de France title in four years on Sunday.

The Kenyan-born British rider finished safely at the back of the main pack during the final stage, arm-in-arm with his teammates during the mostly ceremonial final stage ending on the Champs-Elysees.

"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."

After going 20 stages without a win this Tour de France, André Greipel was finally able to celebrate a victory in the last day of the race. 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.
