Celebrated by his teammates and opponents throughout this stage, which was like a festive parade for 65 of the 115 kilometers on the programme, the Dane Jonas Vingegaard officially won the first Tour de France of his career at age 25. After getting up in the last kilometers, he finished 2:43 ahead of Tadej Pogacar and 7:22 on Geraint Thomas.
Wout van Aert, elected super-combatant of the Tour de France and green jersey with an abysmal lead over his pursuers, gave up the sprint, staying at the back of the pack to finish hand in hand with his teammates, authors of a Tour de France just perfect.
