The 2014 Tour de France Is Over


The final stage of the Tour de France each year is largely a celebration ride -- until it reaches the streets of Paris, when it turns into a final chance for the sprinters to earn points for the Green Jersey. The winner of the final sprint in stage 21 was Marcel Kittel of Germany. Alexander Kristoff of Norway finished second, and Ramunas Navardauskas of Lithuania was third across the line.

Here are the winners in each category (the podium finishers):
