Jonas Vingegaard has celebrated his first overall victory in the Tour de France.
The 25-year-old Dane from Team Jumbo-Visma finished the three-week Tour in the yellow jersey on Sunday, replacing defending champion Tadej Pogacar (Slovenia), who was crowned the youngest double champion in history last year.
Vingegaard, who also won the mountain jersey, was traditionally no longer attacked on Sunday at the “Tour d’Honneur”.
Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) won the 115.6 km final stage to Paris. The 24-year-old Belgian, who had already won the stage in Carcassonne, prevailed in the prestigious bunch sprint on the Champs-Elysees.
The green jersey for the best sprinter went to Vingegaard’s Belgian teammate Wout van Aert, who had won last year’s final on the magnificent Parisian boulevard.
