Finally the riders make it into Paris. The final day is a tradition at the Tour de France, where the riders will ride calmly and in celebration for a large portion of the day before the real racing begins. In total it’s only 115 kilometers, and the final 55 will be ridden in Paris where a sharp hour of racing will likely see a bunch sprint.
It will be the final day of the race, with the traditional celebrative start on the day, but always with a fast and sharp finale to the stage.

Attacks can succeed however, as the peloton is thinned down and worn out here, and for rouleurs they still carry a chance of succeeding, however their chances are always low. A bunch sprint is the traditional outcome, in the streets of Paris and the finale at Champs-Élysées. The finale is a bit technical, but very familiar to the riders who will ride the circuit 8 times. The Grand finale of the Tour de France!
