TOUR DE FRANCE STAGE 21 BETTING PREVIEW

The last stage of the Tour de France is largely a processional, celebratory affair. The first half of the race is a parade with champagne and on occasional cigar, but once the riders hit the cobbles of the famed avenue the real race begins.

After a 60 km tour of the surrounding countryside and outlying suburbs, riders will do 8 laps of the 7km finish circuit between the Arc de Triomphe and the Jardin des Tuileries, including one with Intermediate Sprint points, before a final dash to the line.

The outcome has been a bunch sprint for the past twelve editions as have to go back to 2005 for the last rider - Aleksandr Vinokourov - who managed to hold off a charging peloton on the Champs-Élysées.

Following the onslaught in the Alpine stages, most of the sprinters are already home, including Fernando Gaviria and Dylan Groenewegen who both secured two stage wins this year. Marcel Kittel, André Greipel and Mark Cavendish also abandoned.

This leaves Alexander Kristoff and Arnaud Demare the only pure sprinters in the race. The former has been second here before. The latter, who has never finished higher than 5th on this final stage, has won Stage 20 and is the #1 favourite. Anyway, it was a ragtag finish where several of his main competitors were poorly placed on the run-in.

Peter Sagan got badly bashed up on Stage 17, though, and has been in survival mode over the last few days as wears the Green Jersey. Whether the Slovakian will be at his best here is questionable.

Edvald Boasson Hagen has a good history on the Champs-Élysées. He's raced this stage six times in his career, finishing in the top four on four occasions.

Other possible contenders are Magnus Cort Nielsen, John Degenkolb, Sonny Colbrelli, Maximiliano Richeze and Andrea Pasqualon.

And don’t count out French riders like Christophe Laporte and Timothy Dupont.

Who could upset the sprinters?

It's very unlikely that someone pull off but Greg Van Avermaet, Nikias Arndt, Jasper Stuyven and Daryl Impey are the most probable candidates.
