Britain's Chris Froome has been crowned champion of the 100th edition of the Tour de France after the final stage of the great race in Paris.

 

Froome claimed his maiden yellow jersey with a winning margin of four minutes and 20 seconds on second-placed Colombian Nairo Quintana of Team Movistar.

 

The final stage, always one for the sprinters, was won by the German Marcel Kittel, who narrowly pipped his countryman Andre Greipel at the post.

 

Darren Mara has the details.
