 |
| You got to hand it to the local boy, Thibaut PINOT (FRA/GROUPAMA - FDJ), he said he would finish the Tour de France despite his problems and it looks like he will. He finished 19th today + 4:09. | share this photo |

 |
| Primož ROGLIČ (SLO/JUMBO - VISMA) looking a little delerious post Stage 20. He was still 5th today and in many Tours this would be the winner's look of disbelief. | share this photo |
 |
| Everything had gone right for JUMBO - VISMA at this Tour up until today | share this photo |
 |

| Your new race leader and soon to be overall winner at the 2020 Tour de France, Tadej POGAČAR (SLO/UAE TEAM EMIRATES) by 59s... a name we'll hear for a long time. “I’m dreaming. I am very proud of this jersey that repays all the efforts made by the team up to this last phenomenal push to put me in yellow. I dreamed of winning this Tour since I was a boy and now it has come true.<>p/I must say that the credit is not only mine, but of all the members of UAE Team Emirates and the sponsors who support us. We had come here to the TT for a reconnaissance, so I knew what we were going to do and I knew where to accelerate and where to manage the effort: today I only had to think about pushing hard from start to finish. During the time trial I felt that I was going strong and this spurred me even more. My dream as a cyclist was to participate in the Tour de France, winning it definitely goes further” | share this photo |
 |
| Bravo is right | share this photo |
 |
| A name to remember however you pronounce it... youngest Tour winner in 96 years | share this photo |
 |
| For the first time in a long time, the best rider is also the winner of mountains classification. Tadej POGAČAR (SLO/UAE TEAM EMIRATES) also the best young rider. The first time a rider has finished with three of the leaders' jersey since Eddy Merckx did it in 1969. | share this photo |

| Primož ROGLIČ (SLO/JUMBO - VISMA) gets a hung from an UAE staff member | share this photo |
 |
| Primož ROGLIČ (SLO/JUMBO - VISMA) quickly put his shocking loss into perspective | share this photo |
 |
| Who cares... it is just a bike race. Looks like the healing process has already started, but with so many good young riders in the peloton, will the 30 year-old Primož ROGLIČ (SLO/JUMBO - VISMA) ever have a better chance of the winning the Tour de France? Probably not. | share this photo |
