Paris, July 18, 2021 – La stage 21 issues all the verdicts of the Tour de France 2021, actually already known for days. The absolute king is Tadej Pogacar, who buys up jerseys: for him the yellow one (the second in a row a Paris just 22 years old), white and polka dot. The others are left with only the crumbs: to be precise, the green jersey, which goes to Mark Cavendish despite the failure to overtake the record of Eddy Merckx. To spoil the party for the British is Wout Van Aert, which in the same Tour wins in the mountains, time trial and sprint: practically another phenomenon like Pogacar, accompanied on the podium by Jonas Vingegaard e Richard Carapaz. And the France? Despite a Big loop according to some mischievous designed to favor in particular Julian Alaphilippe, with just 3 uphill arrivals in total, once again the transalpines have to be satisfied with assigning the red number of the supercombattivo to one of their own runners, that is Franck Bonnamour. For the assault on Tour, with the last dated victory 1985, we’ll talk about it next year: Pogacar the phenomenon permitting.

I 3 they are resumed 6 km from the finish, when the sprinter teams actually start work: the winner is the Jumbo-Visma of Wout Van Aert, which closes his with a bang Tour. Nothing to do instead for Mark Cavendish (Deceuninck-Quick Step), which fails the appointment with overtaking a Eddy Merckx in the ranking of those who have won the most stages at Big loop, which in the edition 2021 speaks Slovenian: the king is always the same Tadej Pogacar.
