He becomes the first British cyclist to win the world’s biggest bike race twice.
He celebrated on the way into Paris with his Sky teammates, the hard work done in the previous three weeks.
It's been an honour & a privilege to be supported by this team. Thank you! @teamsky #TDF2015 Pic: @brynlennon pic.twitter.com/5Ze3485iNK

Three weeks, not only of intense bike racing, but of endless doping accusations, questions and hostile crowds.
Froome himself has been doused in urine and spat at, still he kept his eyes on the prize.
As the peloton hit Paris the sprinters and their teams got to work in an attempt to win the prestigious final stage in the French capital.
The German speed machine Andre Greipel proved that he is the fastest man in the peloton by winning his fourth stage.
#TDF2015 Many congrats to @AndreGreipel and the team with this 4th stage win! pic.twitter.com/tDe4TYf96O
