A professional cyclist has completed this year's Tour de France for the first time. Jake Stewart, 25, from Coventry, took on the three-week and 3,500km (2,175 miles) race with the Israel-Premier Tech team. He crossed the finish line on the Champs Elysee in Paris on Sunday.

The roads were dangerously slippery after heavy rain. A fourth Tour de France title was all but won anyway, so finishing safely in the pack would do fine for Tadej Pogacar. Especially considering Sunday’s final stage had already been neutralized for safety reasons and he just had to complete the race.

The rest of the field was no match for the 26-year-old Slovenian, who cruised to victory and is tied for the second-most Tour wins of all time.
