Tour de France 2023: Vingegaard retains title

Jul 24, 2023 Sports

Kaieteur Sports – Vingegaard crossed the finish line on the Champs Elysees with his Jumbo-Visma team-mates

Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard sealed his second successive Tour de France triumph as Jordi Meeus sprinted to a surprise win on the final stage.

Meeus, 25, edged out Jasper Philipsen in a photo finish in Paris to deny his fellow Belgian a repeat of last year’s win on the iconic Champs Elysees.

Vingegaard, 26, finished seven minutes and 29 seconds clear of nearest rival, two-time winner Tadej Pogacar.

Britain’s Adam Yates was third overall, one place above his twin brother Simon.

“I’m happy of course – we’re winning it for the second time and it’s amazing,” said Vingegaard.

“It’s been a super hard race and a super good fight between me and Tadej. Of course, I hope to come back next year to see if I can take the third win.”

Racing in his first Tour, Bora-Hansgrohe rider Meeus claimed the biggest win of his career by a rim from Philipsen, racing in the green jersey having won four stages of this year’s contest.

Meeus said: “It was a super nice experience already so far and to take the win today was an indescribable feeling.”
