The 109th edition of the Tour de France got underway on July 1 as the riders set off from the Danish capital city of Copenhagen before tackling 21 gruelling stages up until July 24.
The Grand Depart location proved to be fitting as Danish rider Jonas Vingegaard held off two-time reigning champion Tadej Pogacar to head to Paris as champion in waiting.
It has been a superb tour for Vingegaard's Jumbo-Visma squad, with teammate Wout van Aert romping to the points jersey.
