Le Tour 2017 – Stage 20

Marseille

Distance: 22.5 kilometers.

An individual time trial on the streets of Marseille. This is the last chance for Chris Froome to lose the Yellow Jersey.

Chris increased his lead over his competition, but joins a handful of riders who have won the Yellow without winning a single stage, coming in third. It was enough.

Christopher Froome ( GBr – SKY – 001 ) [Yellow] 83h 55′ 16″
Michael Matthews ( Aus – SUN – 141 ) [Green] 364 points
Warren Barguil ( Fra – SUN – 143 ) [Polka Dot] 169 points
Simon Yates ( GBr – ORS – 089 ) 7 [White]

Team: Team Sky ( SKY – 001-009 ) [Yellow numbers]
Stage winner: Maciej Bodnar ( Pol – BOH – 112 )

Note: Wikipedia has a simple article on the Mountain classification used on the Tour. The basic fact is that climbs fall into five types, with the four numbered types decreasing in difficulty as the numbers get larger, and then there is the Hors Catégorie, literally “without category”, which generally makes you look for an elevator or Sherpas.
