The podium on the Champs-Elysées in Paris crowned the big winners of the Tour de France, from Jonas Vingegaard in his second yellow jersey to Jasper Philipsen for his equally dominant green points jersey win.

Victor Campenaerts was also up there on Sunday night, albeit not in one of the Tour's four famous jerseys. The Lotto-Dstny rider was awarded the super-combativity prize for his work throughout July, an award he said couldn't be compared to anything he's previously achieved in cycling.
