O’Connor fought hard in the heat of Stage 20, fending off fifth-placed Wilco Kelderman (Bora-Hansgrohe) in the individual time trial to ensure his passage through Paris was one to savour.

The 25-year-old has shown tremendous strength in his debut Tour de France, and supporters near and far were quick to congratulate him ahead of his ride down the Champs-Elysees tomorrow.

The Tour de France concludes tonight with Stage 21 and you can catch all the action from 11pm (AEST) on SBS and SBS On Demand, with the SKODA Tour Tracker app commencing at 12:05am (AEST).
