Tour de France 2015 Results: Ranking, General Classification, Yellow Jersey and Stage Winners

The Tour de France 2015 took place from July 4th to July 26th, covering a total distance of 3,360.3 km divided into 21 stages.

It was won by the English all-rounder and time trial specialist Chris Froome , marking his second victory in the competition, the first being in the 2013 edition (making it his third podium appearance on the Champs-Élysées, considering his second-place finish in the 2012 edition). Froome completed the race on French roads with a total time of 84 hours, 46 minutes, and 14 seconds.

In the second position of the overall classification was the Colombian climber Nairo Quintana (achieving his second podium at the Tour after finishing second in the 2013 edition). Taking the third position in the general classification was the Spanish climber-finisher Alejandro Valverde , achieving his first and only podium in the Tour de France.

Valverde couldn’t hold back his emotions for finally reaching the coveted podium after many unsuccessful attempts in previous editions. He let his emotions flow with liberating tears at the end of the penultimate stage, which, as usual, solidified the general classification before the final parade on the Champs-Élysées the following day.

Chris Froome wins 2015 Tour de France

• Author: SI Wire

Chris Froome has won the 2015 Tour de France, making him the first British cyclist ever to win the race twice.

Froome, 30, was declared the winner by neutralization after he entered Sunday's final stage with a 72-second lead on the rest of the field. He had all but secured victory after holding his lead on Saturday, staving off a late effort from Nairo Quintana, who cut the lead by 32 seconds during Friday's stage. All he had to do for much of Sunday's stage, set in Paris, was finish up the course's final leg.

Froome, who races for Team Sky, won the Tour de France in 2013. He was widely regarded as the strongest rider on the tour and a favorite to win it again.

André Greipel wins Tour stage 21

The race: Before the men took to the Champs Élysées to ride 109.5 kilometers, the women rode their race, La Course by La Tour de France . This second edition was won by Anna Van der Breggen as rain showers fell on Paris.

Chris Froome cracked yesterday on Alpe d'Huez, but second place Nairo Quintana ran out of race before Froome completely ran out of gas. "I was on my absolute limits. I was dying a thousand deaths, " Froome told reporters after the stage. But he did preserve a lead of 72 seconds with just this flat, high speed stage to go.

Here's how Le Tour saw it:

The start proper of the conclusive stage of the 102nd Tour de France will take place in Ville-d'Avray where the very first Tour de France officially finished in 1903 before the final parade to Paris. Unless an accident occurs, the results are known: Chris Froome will be crowned for the second time on the Champs-Elysées with Nairo Quintana accompanying him on stage like two years ago and Alejandro Valverde occupying the third spot this time. The Kenyan-born rider is also the King of the Mountains. Like two years ago, Quintana is the best young rider and Peter Sagan will receive the green jersey for the fourth consecutive time. There'll probably a bunch sprint on France's famous avenue. André Greipel, Mark Cavendish, Alexander Kristoff, Arnaud Démare, Bryan Coquard, Michael Matthews, John Degenkolb and company have courageously fought in the Alps only with this grand finale in sight.

The official start was at 4:45 PM, but no attacks went off. The riders took it easy, a lot of them in rain jackets. Because of the slippery cobbles, the judges were thinking about taking the race's final time before the the final sprint. All 160 of yesterday's finishers started today.

The race had a leisurely and careful beginning. After 23 kilometers, the average speed was only 26 km/hr. Sky riders were spending a lot of time at the front of the peloton.

After an hour of racing in the rain, the judges decided that the final times of the 2015 Tour de France would be taken when the riders first crossed the line on the Champs-Elysées at kilometer 41.

Sky led the peloton onto the Champs, meaning that if Froome finished the stage, he had won the 2015 Tour de France. For the moment, the rain had stopped, but the road remained slippery and dangerous. Froome's bike maker, Pinarello, became the Tour's most successful bike maker with eleven Tour wins, starting with Pedro Delgado in 1988. Peugeot is second, with ten Tour victories, starting with Louis Trousselier in 1905 and so far, ending with Bernard Thévenet's 1977 win.

Despite the weather, the crowds lining the road were huge.

Seventy-three kilometers into the stage, three riders were a half minute up the road: Nelson Oliveira (Lampre-Merida), Florian Vachon (Bretagne-Séché Environnement) and Kenneth van Bilsen (Cofidis).

André Greipel's Lotto-Soudal team had taken over the job of leading the pack, now zooming along at full race speed.

With just 23 kilometers left in the 2015 Tour de France, the breakaway trio was holding steady with a lead of 27 seconds. Astana's Andriy Grivko had tried to bridge up to the break, but he was soon reeled in by the fast-moving peloton. The streets were now dry, making for a much safer finish to the stage.

Lotto-Soudal held steady at the front of the main group, keeping the breakaway trio at a half-minute with just fifteen kilometers, two laps of the finishing circuit, to go.

A couple of kilometers later, the gap had been cut in half. And then it was down to just 10 seconds. In the back, Chris Froome had a piece of trash in his rear wheel and had to stop to get a new bike. With help from his team, he quickly rejoined the peloton.

Up front, BMC rider Rohan Dennis bridged up to the break, making four riders nine seconds ahead of the fast-moving pack.

With the start of the bell lap, Van Bilsen went clear of the break and was quickly joined by Dennis. But after just a few meters, all the escapees were rounded up for the big final sprint. In the final kilometers Lotto-Soudal lost control of the front as the other teams swarmed around them.

Emerging from the chaos, Alexander Kristoff led out the sprint, but André Greipel went right on by to win his fourth stage of this Tour. Bryan Coquard was second with Kristoff third.

Tour de France Winners List

Race report The flag is dropped and the first climb presents itself. At Col Bayard Pierre Rolland attacks and he is followed straight away by Joaquim Rodriguez and Julian Arredondo. With 26 riders bridging the gap, Purito is the first to crest the col and as he takes most points at Rampe du Motty and Côte de La Mure also, he now has as many point as Froome in the KOM classification.

At Col de Malissol Purito becomes the official owner of the polka dot jersey and at the Col de la Morte he cements his lead.

The front group puts 5 minutes into the peloton and when Giant, Trek and LottoNL take control in the pack the gain goes down to under 3 minutes when approaching the Glandon. At the climb itself the front group explodes on the lower flanks and is down to Fuglsang, Bardet, Pinot, Anacona, Caruso, Rodriguez, Rolland, Gautier, Jungels, Talansky and Pauwels, while Pinot is dropped halfway and Hesjedal manages to hook up.

Bardet is first to crest and he takes the lead in the descent. The 24 year old Frenchman arrives at the foot of the steep Lacets the Montvernier with a 0’40” gain over his former companions and the GC men are 3 minutes down. Bardet retains his lead in the climb and it’s all systems go to the end, bringing him the first Tour de France stage-victory in his career. With cresting both the Glandon and Lacets de Montvernier first he joins Purito in the KOM-lead, while simultaneously entering the overall top-10 at the expense of Warren Barguil.
