Tour de France

Dutch rider Thymen Arensman crossed the finish line of stage 19 in the rain two seconds ahead of title contender Jonas Vingegaard and his rival Tadej Pogacar at La Plagne.

Ineos are now back under the control of Dave Brailsford and are working at getting back to the winning ways of years gone past.

It's the penultimate stage (20) so that it's the last chance for the GC races.

It's 184.2km from Nantua to Pontarlier over what's called rugged terrane

Kaden Groves broke away from the group at 16 kms to win his first victory in the tour.

The last stage (21) is the procession into Parisy
Step 21
It's a 132.3km flat stage between Mantes-la-Ville to Paris Champs-Élysées

It will end in a sprint finish at the end of this stage.

Wout van Aert won the stage on the Champs-Élysées after outperforming Pogacar on the third and final climb of Montmartre Hill. This victory marks his tenth Tour de France stage win and his first since 2022.

Tadej Pogacar secured his fourth overall victory in the Tour de France

Shame they are taking the Tour De France behind a paywall channel in the UK

^I didn't mind paying when it was on The Eurosport Player, the price was reasonable and the full stage coverage was great. As it's now gone to Discovery / TNT, I'll find an err...alternative way to view and won't feel the slightest bit guilty about doing it.
