Greipel, Greipel, Greipel and another Greipel. Four times prize in the Tour, not the 33-year-old German Lotto Soudal did better than in ‘La Grande Boucle’ 2015. Many had surplus ‘Gorilla’ this time it is not because he had first unleashed Kristoff tar removers and even then the small sprintertje Bryan Coquard off. But he did so finally got his first on the famed Champs-Elysees. And whether he has acquired all his place in the ranks of the great sprint champions. It should come as no surprise that the otherwise calm German after the finish very emotional response. Especially his team was heavily involved in the tribute, but also family, friends and carers. And before we’d been forgotten in the commotion: Chris Froome can call himself now officially double Tour winner. Although he was in the final stage twice are on their toes: once when his teammate Richie Porte him at an early moment almost picture it against the asphalt dragged and then even at a late bike change deep into the finals. The culprit was a bag that was entangled in his wheel. As the latter is not made so very much out in view of the fact that the time differences has already been recorded at the first passage.
Let us begin with an open question about the triumphant of today we have ever done so seeing the ever cool and business André Greipel as his true triumph in the most talked shit and chic avenue in the world? Like he immediately realized what he had done. Yes, it is quite a feat. Three stage victories already at the counter respectively Neeltje Jans, Amiens and Valence, good for equaling his best result in 2012. But he wanted so badly put the coveted crown at work. Mission accomplished with great distinction we would say. Especially since he had to compete against a party sprinters with a zero on the meter and a vengeful Mark Cavendish. The ‘Manx Express’ had only one caught and could already today his fifth (!) Bouquet ever reap the Champs-Elysées, stabbing five fingers in the air, that movie will be passed in his dreams last night quite a few times .
Froome closes deal with jury
No extra piece of history for ‘Cav’ ergo, or personal history for the man with whom he at Columbia at that time at war lived: Herr Greipel. And speaking of history, we would have ever experienced it all to Paris for the finale of the biggest cycling race in the world so wet and slippery was to excel? Herman Frison Lotto Soudal could already do not remember it, too Etixx his colleague and former winner in the City of Light Tom Steels had to grope already deep in the memory. Rain, yes, but with baking? Nope. The riders were not unjustified with an egg in the tights and Chris Froome joined as the mouthpiece of the 160 remaining riders a deal with the Jury, the time differences would be included in the first passage on the line. So were the victims of a trap rescued from a nightmare.

And it was particularly good news for our Stijn Devolder, immediately before the final kilometer smacked hard against the asphalt. The West Flemish cobbles pestle lay still, you did fear the worst. Fortunately tweeted his team pull very quickly that he was okay. And now we’re still reached the countrymen Kenneth Vanbilsen which may beside Greipel as the hero of the day. What showed the 25-year old Dutchman again, was very personable and made her first Grand Tour. Together with the Frenchman Vachon and Portuguese champion Oliveira threw it in the criterion set the cat among the pigeons quiet, so firmly that even a patented hard rider like Jan Barta had not closed the gap. About half a minute they were given, but the trio fought for every centimeter. Ultimately did not help their adventure, but they kept it exciting it. Vanbilsen was five kilometers from the measurement arrested along with Rohan Dennis. You know, the first yellow jersey after his time trial victory in Utrecht.
De Gendt really tireless
Another Belgian who again colored the picture tube was Thomas De Gendt. Together with his comrades from Lotto Soudal he checked carefully and with much dynamism and commitment to the deal. The red train bellowed apparent confidence with the ‘Scorpion Beveren’ as exponent. After such a strong Tour on the final day once again pull out all the stops, that deserves nothing but respect. All of it works wonders if you know you have a team leader who completes the Imperial. And it did André Greipel once more. Coquard, Kristoff, Boasson Hagen, Demare, Cavendish, Sagan, Degenkolb and Matthews. All in the top 10, if you put those men on their number then you are crowned sprint king. If there is a World Cup sprint Greipel was then crossed tonight the rainbow jersey in his luggage.
Quintana and Valverde along on stage
To finalize yet the figures: Chris Froome may in Paris together with the Colombian Nairo Quintana and Spaniard Alejandro Valverde stage on. The 30-year-old Briton has in the standings ahead of 1’12 “on the Colombian and 5’25″ on Valverde, both prominent members of Movistar. “Froomey ‘also wins for the first time, the polka dot jersey. In the mountain classification he Quintana and Frenchman Romain Bardet advance. The green jersey for the fourth consecutive year for Peter Sagan (Saxo-Tinkoff), which must finish the Tour without a stage victory.
