Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard wins second consecutive Tour de France with Jordi Meeus wining the final stage
Danish rider Jonas Vingegaard has won his second consecutive Tour de France.
He had built up a huge lead over his main rival Tadej Pogacar, the 2020 and 2021 winner and knew the victory was his before the largely ceremonial stage at the end of the 110th edition of the Tour.
Vingegaard drank champagne with his Visma-Jumbo teammates as they lined up together and posed for photos on the way to Paris.
The three-week race was over 3,405 kilometers (2,116 miles) with eight mountain stages across five mountain ranges. Vingegaard seized control of the race over two stages in the Alps.
Vingegaard finished a time trial 1 minute, 38 seconds ahead of Pogacar on Tuesday before finishing the toughest mountain stage of the race almost six minutes ahead of his rival.
Adam Yates from Great Britain finished third overall.
His brother Simon took fourth place.
