Geraint Thomas has effectively won the Tour de France after finishing within two minutes of his closest competitor Tom Dumoulin in Saturday’s individual time trial.
Thomas will take a lead of one minute and 51 seconds into Sunday’s final stage to Paris, which is traditionally a procession. The British rider will now be allowed to ride at his own pace and is virtually guaranteed to be celebrating under the Champs-Elysees come Sunday evening.
Chris Froome gained over one minute on Primoz Roglic to move up into third in general classification, while Dumoulin recorded the fastest time to secure second, as well as the stage win.
