Jonas Vingegaard is the king of The Tour again after finishing the fastest at 82h 05' 42" against more than 200 cyclists.
The Jumbo-Visma main representative came into the final week of Tour de France with a sizeable lead over another two-time winner and main rival Tadej Pogačar.
"It's been an amazing year. What a Tour de France for us," Vingegaard said.
"We started the plans early, and once again, I could not have done it without my team. It's been an amazing Tour for us, and I'm so proud of every one of us."
He also took the time to thank his opponents and his teammates.

"Tonight we will celebrate, have a good dinner. It will be a nice evening. Thanks to my opponents, who have been amazing. It's been an amazing three weeks fighting with you guys."
The race was not locked on Vingegaard in the first two weeks until the Danish lorded over the two Alps stages. He followed it up on Tuesday by clocking in a one-minute, 38 seconds lead over Pogačar, who earned the admiration of fans for his spirited comeback.

Vingegaard will continue his net casting shortly after his Tour de France victory as he immediately announced that he will compete in next month's Vuelta a Espana.
"We made the decision in November last year, so it's been the plan all the time," he told reporters.
"Now was the moment to break it. I'm really looking forward to the Vuelta. Of course I will enjoy the Tour de France win, but in one week I will start focusing on the Vuelta."
