      <\/a>Kaden Groves: ‘I’ve shown I’m good enough to win in the Tour’<\/p>\n

      \u201cToday we weren’t sure whether to go for the stage or wait for tomorrow but when the rain falls I have a super feeling normally in the cold weather,\u201d an emotional Groves said.<\/p>\n

      \u201cIt’s my first ever solo win and it’s a Tour stage so it’s pretty incredible.<\/p>\n

      \u201cThere’s so much pressure at the Tour. Having won in the Giro and won in the Vuelta all I ever get asked is if am I good enough to win in the Tour and now I’ve shown them.\u201d<\/p>\n

      <\/a>Stage 20 recap<\/p>\n

      Kaden Groves won stage 20 of the Tour de France<\/a> from a breakaway in Pontarlier as Tadej Pogacar<\/a> came through the penultimate day unscathed to ensure he will wear yellow into Paris on Sunday.<\/p>\n

      Groves left Frank van den Broek and Briton Jake Stewart behind with 16 kilometres of the rolling 184km stage from Nantua remaining, taking advantage of their hesitancy to quickly build a lead as he won by 55 seconds from Van den Broek, completing a trilogy with wins in all three Grand Tours.<\/p>\n

      Behind, the peloton rolled in some seven minutes down, happy to survive a damp day that saw several riders crash as Pogacar retained his four minute 24 second lead over rival Jonas Vingegaard<\/a> on the last day before Paris.<\/p>\n

      <\/a>Stage 21 preview<\/p>\n

      The finishing line of the Tour de France<\/a> is in sight and after three gruelling weeks – more so than normal – Tadej Pogacar<\/a> is now just a few hours away from claiming his fourth Tour trophy as his Hall of Fame-level career continues.<\/p>\n

      He and Jonas Vingegaard<\/a> will finish one and two on the podium for the fifth straight Tour, having split the last six between them, while Pogacar will also take home the King of the Mountains jersey and four stage wins.<\/p>\n

      And that number could rise to five on a tricky, punchy final day, a far cry from the usual procession into Paris and frenzied sprint finish – although that could still happen on the revamped stage 21.<\/a><\/p>\n

      Bonjour et bienvenue to the final stage of the Tour de France!<\/p>\n

      It\u2019s been a gruelling three weeks, but it finally comes to an end today on cycling\u2019s most iconic finishing straight, the Champs-Elysees in Paris.<\/p>\n

      Tadej Pogacar only needs to stay on his bike to seal yellow – but could he sign off in style with a fifth stage win?<\/p>\n
