| Emotional first Tour de France win by Mathieu VAN DER POEL (NED/ALPECIN-FENIX): “I gambled a little bit and I played everything the first climb already because I knew I needed the bonus seconds if I wanted the jersey and it was also my last chance to get the yellow jersey. It’s incredible.” | share this photo |
 |
| Asked who he thought of at the finish, a tearful Van der Poel replied, "my granddad, of course", as he remembered the late Poulidor, who Van der Poel and his team had honoured at the Tour’s team presentation on Saturday and again on stage 1 with a special-edition jersey. After gathering himself and collecting the maillot jaune, Van der Poel spoke about his grandfather. "Imagine if he was here how proud he would have been. Unfortunately, he isn't here anymore to see."
