Froome Wins The 100th Tour De France

The picture above shows the leaders of the Tour's different categories decked out in their respective jerseys prior to racing the stage 21 finale. The White Jersey is being worn by second place young rider Andrew Talansky, because the first place rider in that category (Nairo Alexander Quintana Rojas) is wearing his Polka Dot Jersey. The rider in the Yellow Jersey is Christopher Froome, and Peter Sagan is wearing the Green Jersey.
As expected, stage 21 was a final opportunity for sprinters to earn more points. And the top four sprinters showed they really were the best this year -- capturing the first four places in stage 21. Here are the top finishers in stage 21:
