Team Sky's Chris Froome proved that he does look good in yellow when he finished safely to become the winner of the 100th Tour De France.
Froome, who admitted: “For me, what this represents – the journey I've taken to get here from where I started, riding on a little mountain bike back on dirt roads in Kenya – to be right here the yellow jersey winner at the Tour de France, the biggest event on our cycling calendar… it's difficult for me to put into words.”, had gone into the final 133km stage from Versailles to Paris Champs-Élysées with a 5.03 lead over Movistar's Nairo Quntana, in his debut tour, who also has won the King Of The Mountains jersey and the Young Riders Jersey with Joaquin Rodriquez also on the podium.
Froome resplendent in his yellow jersey, posed for photos with the other jersey winners in Cannondale's Peter Sagan, who took the Green Points Jersey and dyed his beard green especially, Nairo Quintana and Andrew Talansky, who was second in the Young Riders competition.
The stage rolled out of Versailles around 18.20pm local time and with 126km, Omega Pharma Quick Step's Tony Martin and Nicky Terpstra were on the front of the other 168 riders.
Brit Ian Stannard in his first Tour De France and Richie Porte, then took over as Christophe Riblon of AG2R was named as the winner of the 'Super Combative' prize for the race for his win on Alpe D'Huez which saw him the only Frenchman to win a stage this year.
Saxo TinkOff who won the Team Prize had Alberto Contador require a new bike before the first climb of the day at Cote de Saint Remy les Chevreuse saw Gert Steegmans first over the line for 500 euros from Terpstra.
Movistar's Rojas took the point on the cote de Chateaufort as the peloton, made their way into Paris for the first of ten laps around the Champs-Élysées.
Juan Antonio Flecha took the day's Intermediate Sprint ahead of Garmin's David Millar with 46.5kms remaining and eight and a half kilometres later, Belkins Lieuwe Westra was forced to abandon.
Millar, who first wore a yellow jersey in the Tour De France in 2000, shed Flecha and pushed on alone, taking a lead of 25kms going into the final 22kms.
FDJ's Jeremy Roy set off after him, bridged the Scot and passed him with 19,4kms left. BMC's Quinziato, Movistar's Valverde and Tankink of Belkin took over, gaining a sixteen lead as the sun started to set on the L'Arc D'Triomphe.
The bell lap saw the three escapers caught by the sprint teams including Omega Pharma Quick Step who were looking to get Mark Cavendish a fifth consecutive win on the Champs-Élysées.
Team Sky with Geraint Thomas followed by Froome were on the front as Lotto Belisol moved up down the right hand side of the road before Cavendish's Sky Blue team went to the front with 2.5kms left.
Argos Shimano came through the tunnel on the left whilst Peter Sagan was on the wheel of Cavendish along with Marcel Kittel, put down the hammer and took the win in a time of 3.06.16, just ahead of Greipel and Mark Cavendish, who was boxed in by Greipel, in third.
"It's quite breath taking said Brailsford on Froome's overall victory to Eurosport. "It's very emotional being on the Champs-Élysées. "It was a good sprint but the lads crossed together as a sign of unity. "A difficult tour to win and luckily it came our way."
