- Irish green jersey winner wins final stage in a sprint
- Pogacar becomes Tour’s youngest winner since 1904
While Tadej Pogacar enjoyed the processional element of the Tour de France’s conclusion in the yellow jersey, Sam Bennett, of the Deceuninck–Quick-Step team, won the final stage here, outsprinting the world road race champion, Mads Pedersen on the cobbles of the Champs Élysées.
The Irishman’s stage win, his second of the 2020 Tour, confirmed his victory in the points classification. “I can’t tell you how excited I am – the green jersey, on the Champs Élysées,” he said. “I never thought I’d ever be able to win this stage, the sprinters’ world championships, and to do it in green, it’s just so amazing.”
