The bullet train delivers the race to the traditionally celebratory stage from Montereau-Fault-Yonne to Paris Champs-Élysées for the premiere sprinters’ showcase beneath the Arc de Triomphe. The peloton should roll at a leisurely pace en route to the French capital as the overall leader and others pose for photographs and sip champagne. After a ceremonial first lap on the Champs-Élysées, the pace should ratchet up as riders play for airtime in breakaways and the remaining sprinters’ teams vie for one of the most famed wins in cycling. The standings atop the final general classification will be decided ahead of the final stage and overall contenders will stay with teammates near the front of the race to avoid any trouble on the cobbled circuit.
