The 21st and final stage of the 98th edition of the Tour de France is tomorrow! Cloudy skies are predicted, but hopefully no more of this July rain…
After 3,430 kilometers, the best of the best two-wheeled champions will enter Paris and finish the grueling three-week race on the Champs-Elysées.
See the time schedule here.
How to get there
