Hello and welcome - for the last time - to live coverage of Stage 21 of the Tour de France, a largely processional 103km ride from Montgeron to Paris which, after all the champagne and posing for photos, should conclude with the prestigious sprint on the Champs-Elysees.

There are so many big-name sprinters who won't be here today to fight for the win on the Champs-Elysees, including four-time Paris winner Mark Cavendish, double Paris winner Marcel Kittel and the likes of Peter Sagan and Arnaud Demare.

The white jersey this year was won by Simon Yates of Orica-Scott, who kept it in the family following his twin brother's victory in the same youth classification last year. Yates lost time towards the end, but he stayed seventh on GC and kept a 2:06 over his nearest rival for white, the South African Louis Meintjes of UAE Team Emirates. It was a two-way battle with third place Emanuel Buchmann of Bora-Hansgrohe finishing 27:07 down.

Back to Barguil, and this is his custom painted polka dot bike today... not bad! Also, note the special Team Sunweb avatar: half green and half polka dots. And we thought things couldn't get much better for them after Tom Dumoulin's pink jersey win in the Giro...

Cyril Gautier has just asked his girlfriend to marry him...

ATTACK: Mikel Landa of Sky zips off the front of the pack - it's clearly a joke, but one that Romain Bardet may not find too funny: the Frenchman's place on the podium is reliant on him not finishing a second slower than the Spaniard.

The winner of the polka dot jersey was Matthews' Sunweb team-mate, Warren Barguil. The Frenchman won on Bastille Day in Foix and atop the Col d'Izoard. He notched 169 points in the KOM standings, with his nearest rival - Primoz Roglic of LottoNL-Jumbo - only amassing 80 points.

And those beers...

Attack by Yoann Offredo of Wanty-Groupe Gobert! Unlike his - and his team's - numerous other attacks, especially in the opening week of the race, this one isn't for real. The Frenchman must have family further up the road because he's been allowed to ride on and say hello.

Sky have moved on from the champagne to the beers now - and it's smiles, larks and banter all round as Luke Rowe shakes his bottle and sprays his team-mates... Their Twitter feed has a small video of them with the earlier champagne, here.

The battle for green was won by Michael Matthews of Team Sunweb - pictured with Froome below. The Australian was having an intense battle with Marcel Kittel in the points classification - and indeed moved within 9pts of the German - before Kittel crashed out of the race in the Alps. Earlier, Arnaud Demare wore green but he too left the race after finishing out of the time limit in the Pyrenees. And then, of course, there was the disqualification of Peter Sagan on Stage 4, which meant we'd see a new green jersey winner for the first time in six years. Matthews leads Andre Greipel by 364 points to 204 points so whatever happens today, he'll win the green jersey - provided he finishes the stage.

And on our final Sky update for a while, here's that new kit and some champagne-fuelled celebrations.

Can Froome join the five-Tour club next year?

And here's Froome's custom yellow painted Pinarello...

The buses, too...

While we're on Froome and Sky, it's worth noting that they're wearing a special jersey today - one with a yellow stripe down it.

A reminder that Chris Froome - give or take - has won this Tour by 54 seconds over Rigoberto Uran of Colombia, with Frenchman Romain Bardet coming third at 2:20. It's not a given for Bardet - and he will need to ensure there are no splits in the peloton because he only leads Mikel Landa of Spain by one slender second on GC, while Fabio Aru completes the top five at 3:05.

ATTACK! Only joking... it's just the four classification leaders doing their thing. Interestingly, Simon Yates is the only one to pair up his shorts, with the others preferring black to the colours of their classification jerseys...

They're off! The remaining 167 riders roll out of Montgeron and get this largely processional stage under way.

The start today in Montgeron has a special place in Tour history...

Here's what the riders have in store today...
