Jasper Philipsen wins Stage 21 in Paris as Vingegaard secures overall triumph

Jonas Vingegaard of Jumbo-Visma sealed his victory in the 2022 Tour de France with a masterful performance, crossing the finish line in Paris to claim the overall title. The final stage saw Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin–Deceuninck sprinting to victory, but Vingegaard’s consistent dominance throughout the race was enough to secure his place at the top of the podium.

With the win, Vingegaard dethroned defending champion Tadej Pogačar, whose reign was broken by the Danish rider’s impressive form in the mountains and on time trials. Vingegaard’s Jumbo-Visma teammates, including Wout Van Aert and Sepp Kuss, played crucial roles in the team’s success, assisting in breaking Pogačar’s aura of invincibility. The victory marked a historic moment for Vingegaard, who claimed his first-ever Tour de France title.
