For the most part, today’s pancake-flat stage from Créteil to Paris Champs-Élysées is more ceremonial than competitive, as we expected to see no change in the overall lead, but the fight for the green jersey ensued. Final sprint points were awarded at two places along the Champs-Élysées with the final sprint being to the finish.

Not surprisingly, Mark Cavendish took his hat trick when he won the final stage in the Tour de France for the third time. He is the winner of the green jersey.

Cadel Evans is officially the winner of the maillot jaune by 1 minute, 34 seconds over second place Andy Schleck. The remaining podium spot is occupied by Frank Schleck. Thomas Voeckler takes the well-earned fourth place.

Yellow (Overall): Cadel Evans (BMC Racing, Australia)
Green (Points): Mark Cavendish (HTC-Highroad, Great Britain)
Polka-dot (Mountain): Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi, Spain)
White (Youth): Pierre Roland (Team Europcar, France)
Team: Team Garmin-Cervelo
Combative/Fighting Spirit: Jérémy Roy
