Chris Froome won the Tour de France for a fourth time on this day in 2017.
The Team Sky rider emerged victorious after Dylan Groenewegen sprinted to victory to beat Andre Greipel in Paris on the 21st and final stage.
The victory gave Froome his latest yellow jersey after Tour de France triumphs in 2013, 2015 and 2016.
