As the riders are reaching the Champs-Élysées aboard the team buses to face the final stage of the race, the great Tour machine is working to award the first recognitions of the race.

The title of most combative rider has naturally been awarded to Richard Carapaz, who will also take the stage to receive the polka dot jersey, while that of best domestique has been attributed to Quinn Simmons, the "mustache" of Lidl Trek who has given his all practically every day for his teammates.
