Lauren Stephens wins on the Champs-Élysées
What a performance by the Tibco – Silicon Valley Bank’s squad! Going into the final stage, the American team had already claimed the overall and polka dot jersey classifications. However, they wanted that Škoda Green Jersey as well. And over the six intermediate sprints they beat Canyon-SRAM and got it. To top it all off, Lauren Stephens surpassed April Tacey by seven-hundredths of a second to claim the stage win.

Team NTT dominates the Men’s Virtual Tour
Will Clarke took a surprising win on the virtual Champs-Élysées. It was NTT’s Edvald Boasson Hagen who sprinted to the front, but without a power-up to use, his team-mate Ryan Gibbons caught up to him. However, Will Clarke had the last say and won the glory. Filippo Ganna (Ineos) finished second and Gibbons crossed the line third in the final stage of the Virtual Tour de France.
🥇He’s done it!! @clarkeywilbur 🇦🇺 wins the final stage of the #TDFVirtual with powerful sprint to the line on the iconic Champs-Élysées! 🤩
Congratulations Will 👏👏

Well engineered!
Too true
Just *once* I wanna hear somebody say “I snoozed my 8.30 alarm 6 times, everything hurts. I haven’t washed my hair in 4 days because I’m just gonna put a helmet on it anyway. I have an enormous bowl of carbs for breakfast because I want to train well today.”
