The rider who was second to Bradley Wiggins in 2012, was the dominant force in the 100th Tour de France and even though Christopher Froome lost 53 seconds to the winner of the final stage and 43 seconds to his nearest rival in the general classification, the Sky team sealed its second successive victory in the Tour de France at the end of the evening spectacle on the streets of Paris.

The finish was around 9.40pm in the city of lights and the stars came out to shine: the four at the top of the sprinters classification had a drag race to the line to determine the winner of the 21st stage and it was Marcel Kittel who began the Tour as he started it – with a victory. The German won in Bastia, St-Malo and Tours (stages one, 10 and 12) and he topped off a stunning second appearance by holding off a late challenge from the four-time winner in Paris, Mark Cavendish.

Behind the battle of the sprinters, the celebrations had begun. Chris Froome would roll over the finish line arm-in-arm with team-mate David Lopez and with Richie Porte by his side. The grin on his face spelled out the relief and satisfaction of becoming the second British champion of the Tour and the first rider born in Africa to take home the yellow jersey.

He ended his emphatic campaign with an advantage of 4’20 over the best young rider – and King of the Mountains – Nairo Quintana. “I get a lot of inspiration from reading messages from fans who say that just watching the Tour de France makes them want to get out on their bikes or start cycling,» said the champion of the 2013 Tour. “That’s what this is about. It’s one of the main reasons we’re here, why Sky is sponsoring us – to get that kind of response and support from the public back home is a really cool feeling.”

The final stage
The official start of the final stage of the 100th Tour de France was at 6.26pm with an equal record number of riders at the sign on for the final stage, 170 (matching the 2010 race when this was the biggest finishing field ever).

The stage had two category-four climbs in the opening hour: the cote de Saint-Remy-les-Chevreause (at 29.5km) and cote de Chateaufort (at 33.5km). The peloton idled along at an average speed of 35.6km/h for the first hour. Before the race officially began, the bunch rode around the gardens of the palace of Versailles showcasing yet another popular tourist attraction of the host nation.

Steegmans (OPQ) and Rojas (MOV) were the riders who claimed the final climbing points of the 2013 Tour. There was a small crash involving Lagutin (VCD) at the 25km mark but he remounted his bike quickly and rejoined the peloton.

Sky leads to the streets of Paris
There were the traditional festivities at the start of the stage with champagne sipping and photo taking amongst the riders. The Sky team led the peloton to the site of the finish for the first of 10 laps of the Champs-Elysées with Froome giving his friend Richie Porte the honour of leading the bunch for the first lap. The Sky team did the whole first lap at the front of the bunch and then, on the second passage of the Haute des Champs, Boom (BEL) became the first to gain any ground on the peloton.

With 53km to go, the winner of the four most recent stages in Paris – Cavendish (OPQ) – punctured his front tyre; it took him just three kilometres to rejoin the peloton. At 48km to go, Meyer (OGE) instigated an escape. He was joined in the lead by Britain’s David Millar (GRS), Flecha (VCD) and El Fares (SOJ). Millar and Flecha kept the escape alive and led by 20” at the intermediate sprint (87km) where the Spaniard took first place for the intermediate sprint. It was a bad day for Westra who (VCD) was forced to abandon the Tour de France with just 38km to go.

Omega begin their lead-out…
With 36km to go, two riders from the Omega Pharma-Quickstep team went to the front of the peloton. Millar and Flecha were 10” ahead. Millar remained at the front of the stage while Flecha, who was briefly joined by Muravyev (AST) was caught 30km from the finish. With 25km to go, Millar had a lead of 30”; single-handedly, he held off the peloton until 18km to go.

With 21km to go, Roy (FDJ) attacked the peloton, he caught and passed the stage leader but then duly retreated to the peloton. This prompted another move: Quinziato (BMC), Valverde (MOV) and Tankink (BEL) were in the lead at 17km to go. They had an advantage of 12”. Omega Pharma-Quickstep got seven men to the front of the peloton with 10km to go and Valverde’s trio was 10” ahead. The escape was over with 6.5km to go.

100th Tour ends as it began: Kittel 1st in the stage
The Omega Pharma-Quickstep team was the dominant force at the front of the peloton in the closing kilometres of the 100th Tour but Argos-Shimano, Lotto-Belisol and Cannondale also had a strong presence.

Former white jersey Michael Kwiatkowski led Trentin and Steegmans to the ‘Flamme Rouge’ but it was Argos-Shimano that opened up the sprint as they traversed the Place de la Concorde. Kittel started his sprint with about 300m to go and held off a strong challenge from both Cavendish and Greipel. The German is the only rider to win four stages of the 2013 Tour de France. The winner on day one was the winner on the final Sunday….

Froome drops 53” of his lead but wins the yellow jersey!
In the final rush to the line, Froome dropped well behind as the sprinters battled it out for stage honours. The Sky leader would cross the line arm-in-arm with Lopez (SKY) in 114th place, 53” behind Kittel. Despite his loss of time to Quintana who finished in the front group (48th, 10” behind Kittel), Froome became the winner of the Tour de France with an advantage of 4’20”.

Nairo Quintana (MOV) won both the youth and climbing classifications in his debut in the race whilst Peter Sagan, fourth on the final stage won his second successive Green jersey.

RIDER REACTIONS
Chris Froome: “This is one yellow jersey that will stand the test of time”

“I like to thank my team-mates who buried themselves day-in, day-out to keep this yellow jersey on my shoulders and the Team Sky management for believing in me and building this team around me. Thank you to all the people who have taken the time to teach me over the years. Finally, I’d like to thank my close friends and family for being there for me every step of the way…”

“This is a beautiful country and it hosts the biggest annual sporting event on the planet. To win the 100th edition is an honour… this is one yellow jersey that will stand the test of time,” he said from the podium.

Before taking to the podium, Chris Froome offered some of his feelings after finishing 114th in the final stage… “It’s absolutely incredible! I could actually feel myself welling up with tears, it was really quite an emotional feeling riding across the line with my team-mates who have just killed themselves to keep the yellow jersey on my back for these past two weeks.”

“It has been an absolutely incredible journey. It’s been a tough journey – a bloody tough journey – but to be here, standing on the top step of the podium on the Champs-Elysées is all worth it, 100 per cent worth it.”

“It’s still early days but there are definitely things I would like to do to try and promote cycling in Africa – in underdeveloped countries. This Tour itself has been amazing race in that respect, the fact that for the very first time we’ve seen an African in the yellow jersey with Daryl Impey, from South Africa – I mean, that’s historic. And I’m really quite sure that my performances – having been born in Kenya, schooled in South Africa – will give a lot of inspiration to youngster there as well.”

“How do I plan on celebrating? I’ve got some friends from school who have come over to Paris and my fiancée, Michelle [Cound] and obviously I’ll be with my team-mates and the rest of the team and I’m hoping that we can have an unforgettable night.”

“There is always a nervous tension coming each day, counting down before getting to this point. There have been different obstacles, different challenges along the way so getting to those last two kilometres and knowing that, ‘Okay, this is wrapped up now…’ that was really quite an overwhelming feeling.”

“The beauty of the Tour is that fans can get close to us. The excitement, the ambiance on the mountains and along all of the race route… okay it definitely does make it difficult for us at times and sometimes we have to actually push the fans out of the way when we don’t have police motorbikes with us but that’s one of the things that makes the Tour de France so special, the amount of support that we have out on the road, it makes it different from any other race we do.”

Nairo Quintana: “I can’t believe what has happened… I had dreamt of this for a very long time, but didn’t believe it could come so early. I’m just a 23-year-old boy, but time goes fast, and I could cry out of pure happiness. We thought winning the stage was feasible, but I wasn’t as convinced as my DS nor all the team.”

“They’re impressive: they help me so much, especially on the psychological side, to cope with such big challenges. Just all of them: the carers, the technical side, all the riders… they all took me here and I wouldn’t have achieved anything without them.”

“When [directeur sportif] José Luis Arrieta told me, ‘You have to take leadership roles in the team’, I stood up and said, ‘Of course.’ I was ready, there was no problem, but I told them they would have to forgive me should my legs fail, because the Tour is so fast and the stages, so long. They said I just had to do as much as I could… I should be calm and go as far as the legs would let me to.”

“What I achieved is the result of lots of work and the class God and my parents gave me. What I achieved is also a result of my team’s work: only since a year ago, I thought about contesting the Tour overall – I had just turned pro and was contesting my first big races, showing myself to the world.”

“In Colombia they wanted me to conquer the polka-dot jersey, which was always essential to us Colombian riders… I want to take advantage from this moment to salute another Colombian who won this jersey in the Tour and is now at home, recovering after his accident in the 2011 Tour de Suisse: Mauricio Soler”.

“He told me he would take care of me from there, and this is dedicated to him; best wishes of full recovery, my friend, you’re an inspiration for me to keep going.”

Marcel Kittel: Marcel Kittel won four stages in his second Tour de France including the last one which has been until now, the property of Mark Cavendish. “I am so proud of how we prepared the sprint and I have no words for it actually. This is something that is like a dream for me that’s come true today. To be honest, I really did not expect that this dream would come true so early and I’m really proud about it.”

“It takes a lot of work. We train a lot and it’s also a lot of planning and analysing. We are a really close group as a team and we did a great job in preparing the sprint and we did an analysis of the last years of the Champs-Elysées to see how the sprint works in theory and I think that helped a lot today.”

“On one hand, this Tour is one of the hardest races that I’ve never done – actually, the hardest race that I ever did – but on the other hand it was just amazing. We had so much success, way more than we expected. We really enjoyed it and maybe that sounds stupid but it was a really successful race for us and it brought us closer together as a group and we can be happy about that.”

“I’ll now go and enjoy Paris. Stage 22 is coming up…!”

Mark Cavendish: “It was a really fast sprint,” Cavendish said. “To be fair, I wasn’t quite in an ideal situation like I wanted. I said to Gert, go to lead me out. If I manage to get behind those two, Greipel and Kittel, that is perfect because I can go then. When they came past I shouted to Gert, I’ll stay on them, but when I came around the last corner … I think, in hindsight, maybe I should have gone earlier.”

“But, when I went, I kicked really good. Andre went across the road, and I had to go around the both of them and it did take me into the roughest part of the road on the right. So I had to go into that. I had to stall a bit and I was able to go again. I was coming, but it was just too late to beat Marcel Kittel. It was Kittel’s fourth win at the Tour here, so it’s not like I’ve lost to an unknown rider.”

“We came here as as a team and we won four stages, so it’s been a successful Tour,” Cavendish said. “We were the most successful team I think here in terms of stages. A team to win four or five stages is a big, big thing. So we’re definitely happy. It’s been a while since Omega Pharma – Quick-Step has won stages at the Tour, for sure not this many. Michal also had the white jersey for a few days. So, we’re really happy and hopefully we can continue this successful season.”
