Chris Froome comes through the final stage of the Tour de France unscathed to clinch the championship for the second time in his career.

Chris Froome has secured the Tour de France title for the second time in his career, becoming the first Briton to claim the championship twice.

The 30-year-old all but confirmed his championship win on Saturday when he defended his lead at the top of the standings in the penultimate race of the competition.

Froome entered the final race of the tournament with the lead, although he would have to battle around 10 laps of a 7km circuit in Paris to clinch the title for the second time in three years.

Heavy rain made conditions treacherous for the riders on the circuit, resulting in a decision to make the general classification of times from the first time the cyclists crossed the finish line.

As a result, Froome needed just to finish the race to secure the championship, and even though he was forced to stop to remove a paper bag and then rode over a water bottle, the 30-year-old held his nerve to cross the line with his Team Sky teammates and claim the title.

Colombia's Nairo Quintana placed in second, 17 seconds behind the Briton, while Spain's Alejandro Valverde finished in third. Meanwhile, the final stage was won by Andre Greipel.
