Bold.
It's Dmitriy Gruzdev.

The peloton take the bell, signalling the final lap of this final stage of the Tour de France.
Just 6.6km to go - they'll cover it at an almighty pace.

Team Sky on the front as they swing towards the end of the penultimate lap.
You don't usually see a yellow jersey team still working at this point of the final stage.

No discernible breakaway now as the peloton make contact.
There may be some counter-attacks in the final 8km but the sprinters' teams will now look to take control.

Steve Cummings pulls out to the right, his immense effort on the front done as his Dimension Data team-mates will take over to set it up for Edvald Boasson Hagen.

Martin's strength has effectively just dragged the peloton up to the breakaway.
There is still a split but the catch should be made soon.

Tony Martin has attacked from the front of the peloton.
The powerful German will be looking to make up from yesterday's disappointing time trial - but he just appears to be dragging the peloton with him.

The break of nine riders are still out front but it's down to around nine seconds to go now as they pass the line signalling two laps to go.

Froome is a better road cyclist than Wiggins, but far less of a self publicist. He just rides.

Steve Cummings swings the peloton round another cobbled corner, the lead of the nine-man break down to 10 seconds.
As they ride away from the Champs Elysees, the race transfers onto smooth tarmac before they loop back towards the famous avenue.
There are not many more majestic settings in all of sport.

A shot of Sylvain Chavanel's bike shows 17 tally marks for the 17 consecutive Tours he has ridden.
This is set to be the 15th that he's finished, while he's also won three individual stages.
That sort of pedigree in the break has meant that the peloton haven't let them get too much of an advantage here.

The break of nine riders cross the line again - three laps or about 20.3km to go.
The peloton still 14 seconds behind and looking comfortable with keeping the gap as it is for now.

People's dislike of Froome is classic High School rules, no one likes the geeks / best in class!

Mr Gutta (see below) hits the nail on the head here - Froome is not as loved as Wiggo because sadly the Tour de France is not followed half as much as the olympics/competing for team GB. Wiggo's achievements were only amplified after he won gold at London 2012. For those who do follow the Tour de France, Froome is a hero.

Two Britons on the front of the peloton now - Steve Cummings, in service of Edvald Boasson Hagen, and Luke Rowe, who is probably just used to riding on the front of the bunch in flat stages now and knows no different.

Steve Cummings uses the gutter to move up the right and swing himself up to the front of the peloton.
I don't think the Briton is about to launch an attack to get into the breakaway - Dimension Data will all be riding for Edvald Boasson Hagen to sprint for victory.
They'll have been hoping to lead Mark Cavendish to his fifth win on the Champs Elysees but the Norwegian is a stellar back-up option.

Only me that prefers Froome to Wiggins? Froome would have easily beat Wiggins in 2012 without team orders. Not only is he an excellent climber and time trialler, but a true gent, especially off the bike

Former GB cyclist at the Tour de FranceAndre Greipel's Lotto-Soudal team have been great - they have put him in such great positions and really shown faith in him.
They have ridden really hard for him but he has just been lacking speed at the top end. Maybe he won't need that today but certainly he is the sort of rider who can suffer if things aren't going well.

Here are the nine riders up the road: Sylvain Chavanel, Daryl Impey, Alexey Lutsenko, Michael Schar, Imanol Erviti, Nils Politt, Dion Smith, Marcus Burghardt and Julien Vermote.
They have a gap of 14 seconds on the peloton.
I'll be surprised if Chavanel's team-mate Thomas Voeckler is not afforded some time off the front today. The French veteran, who spent two of the most unlikely spells in yellow in 2004 and 2011 and has won four Tour stages, will retire after this year's race.
