MONTGERON ! PARIS CHAMPS "ÉLYSÉES

105KM FLAT DISTANCE TERRAIN

-

All that remains is for the yellow jersey to carry it into Paris. The champagne will flow, backs will be slapped and photo opportunit­ies taken long before they reach the traditiona­l finishing circuit on the Champs-Élysées, but that doesn’t mean it’s without competitio­n. For the sprinters this is one of the biggest days of the year and a win here will make their season. Lotto Soudal’s André Greipel had gone winless through last year’s race heading into Paris, but after finding his turn of speed on the Champs, it was all anybody remembered.
