Jersey - Climber (Tour de France)
RICHARD CARAPAZ, TAKE A BOW
Two stage wins, the King of the Mountains, and eighth overall. For most riders that would be a palmares to be proud of. For Richard Carapaz it's a week at the office.
His sports director, Charlie Wegelius, sums it up in one word:
"Perseverance. He just kept on going. Kuss obviously went once, managed to get him back, managed to get him the other time when he was just holding him, and clawing back a few seconds here and there. He just never gave up. Richie and the whole team spent an enormous amount of energy to achieve the [KOM] goal, and then we had to reset and focus on the stage, mid-stage. Once again, Ben did an amazing job, flipping the race on its head and making the gap reasonable. You see at the finish we needed all the time we could get."

Pidcock hangs on, so does Jordan Jegat. Pogacar concedes 45 seconds to Evenepoel with bonus seconds, but make no mistake, that was a choice. He's a great rider, but he's pretty good at PR, too.

SEIXAS FINISHES WITH SKJELMOSE AND AYUSO
At 2'54 on Carapaz, the youngest rider in 89 years to even take part in the Tour de France, has done enough to finish 4th. Yes, there were moments when it seemed he might fly higher, but he has more than handled the pressure. Where will he go from here?

Medal - Bronze
POGACAR AND DEL TORO CROSS THE LINE AS ONE
Inseparable at the start, and at the end. Lenny Martinez is a few pedal turns behind.
