  1. Clock about to be neutralised

    We're approaching the beginning of the laps. Team Sky are at the front of the peloton and as soon as they cross the line to start the laps, that will be the finishing time and Chris Froome will be Tour de France champion, as long as he gets over the line.

  2. Paris selfies

    #bbccycling

    You guys look like you're at Norwegian corner. I could be wrong - it wouldn't be the first time.

    Are you in Paris? Do you have a camera? Want to send us a picture? Use #bbccycling

  3. Shortened route?

    Former cyclist Sean Kelly has just mooted that the 10 laps in Paris that lead to the sprint finish cut be could down because of the wet conditions and the late arrival of the peloton. No news yet though.

  4. 74.7km to go

    Chris Froome has spent the last few minutes having a chinwag with Mark Cavendish. The TV cameras tried to pick up on what they were saying until they realised that Cav has an absolute potty mouth.

  5. Yellow jersey

    This tweet confirms that Chris Froome only needs to get home today. So it would take something very horrific to take the yellow jersey away from him.

  6. Paris selfies

    Keep them coming. Loads of photos of you waiting in the rain in Paris. Use #bbccycling

  7. Your top three British cyclists

    #bbcycling

    BBC Sport's Matt Slater has selected his top 10 British cyclists of all time. We want your top three using #bbccycling

    Edu:  Wiggins considered Britains best cyclist? he was one of the most boring #tdf winners ever, froome on the other hand

    freckleface97:  1) froome 2) hoy 3) wiggo for track but nothing to do with the tour. Froome dragged him round and could have won 2012

    Mark Wavish:  Robert Millar- should have been the first British GT Winner; Chris Boardman-all of modern British cycling was built on his Gold of 1992. Chris Froome with 2xTDF & KOM must now have just eclipsed Wiggins, Simpson, and Hoy.

  8. 83.5km to go

    We're nudging our way into the centre of Paris now. Slowly. Painfully slowly. We'll be at the Eiffel Tower in about 8km, so get your GoPros pointing upwards boys.

  9. Paris selfies

    #bbccycling

    You're in Paris. It's wet. You're waiting for a load of blokes to whizz past. Why not pass the time by sending us a photo?

  10. 'Not much luck'

    EuroSport spoke to yesterday's stage winner and defending champion Vincenzo Nibali before today's racing.

    A week ago it was a tricky Tour - I didn't feel I had much luck. But I've had to make compromises over what I wanted to achieve - the stage win was the best day for me. Even though it's raining today it's the last day and you go out to enjoy it.

  12. Cheers from the beard

    90.6km to go

    Chris Froome receives a pat on the back from Simon Geschke and Simon Gechske's beard.

    Geschke's wonderfully manicured facial hair has been one of my highlights of the Tour.

  13. 92.9km to go

    You can't beat a relaxing Sunday afternoon cycle can you? If you were strolling through the south-west suburbs of Paris at the moment, you might be forgiven for thinking the Tour de France was a family fun ride. The pace is snailesque.

  14. Your top three British cyclists

    #bbccycling

    We're also asking for your top three British cyclists of all time. Does Froome make your list? Use #bbccycling to get involved

    Jamlin:  no.3 is definitely Chris Boardman for starting the trend, no.2 is Chris Hoy for unequaled success on the track and Wiggo no.1

    Small man peaky:  Wiggins, Cav and Hoy. Wiggins in first and too close to call between the other two.

    Ollie:  Froome, Cav and Hoy..... Why? Just look at the achievements!

  16. Positive reception for Froome

    It's nice to see, after plenty of talk of abuse aimed at Chris Froome, that spectators are giving a warm reception to the yellow jersey wearer.

  17. Drink cycling

    Here's something you should definitely not do at home kids. Drinking champagne while cycling.

    Chris Froome is handed a (plastic) glass of bubbly from the window of the Team Sky support car. It doesn't look like he actually takes a sip though - probably for the best, just in case there is a French police car waiting to arrest him for drink cycling.

  18. Almost a disastrous photo opportunity

    Chris Froome catches up with the Team Sky boys after his clothing dilemma, and all of them ride alongside each other, draping arms over each other's shoulders.

    But Richie Porte is terrible at riding no-handed and almost knocks Froomey off his bike.

  19. This tweet suggests that as long as Chris Froome is part of the main bunch when the sprint starts, he will not lose any time. So he won't have to risk getting involved in a bun fight on the cobbles, which Geraint Thomas fittingly described as a 'proper bonkers' prospect.

  20. Bertie to rethink

    Alberto Contador, who will finish fifth on the Tour after winning a grueling Giro d'Italia earlier this year, has been speaking to EuroSport.

    My goal was a different one. My goal was victory, not just the podium and I haven't been able to do it. Some riders were stronger than me. Next year I may rethink my schedule.
