Chris Froome Wins Second Tour de France
Chris Froome - who had won the Tour in 2013 -- crossed the finish line on the Champs Elysees linking arms with his Sky teammates.
Britain's Chris Froome won the 102nd edition of the Tour de France, his second victory in the cycling marathon.
Germany's Andre Greipel, riding for Lotto-Soudal, won the 21st and last leg of the race, the 109-kilometre sprint between Sevres and Paris, his fourth stage victory, coming in ahead of France's Bryan Coquard and Norway's Alexander Kristoff in 2 hours 49 minutes and 41 seconds.
Finishing in second and third place overall on Sunday were Colombian Nairo Quintana and his Spanish Movistar teammate, Alejandro Valverde.
The 30-year-old Briton -- who had won the Tour in 2013 -- crossed the finish line on the Champs Elysees linking arms with his Sky teammates.
"Of course it was a very, very difficult Tour, both on the bike and off it. I'm so happy to be here in yellow," said Froome, referring to the traditional colour of the winner's jersey, after a race during which he was spat at, insulted, accused of cheating and had urine dumped on him.
