Hello and welcome to live coverage of stage 21 of the Tour de France - the final ride into Paris at the end of this gruelling three weeks. It's a largely processional 113km ride from Chantilly to the Champs-Eylsees which should spark into life during the criterium-style laps of the city centre circuit.
