It’s a really fitting way to end the battle for the Tour de France,” the rider said.<br /><br />When asked about the crowd booing him on the home straight he said he thought it was “perfectly normal” and “not something he’d take personally” as the rider who secured a second stage victory was Frenchman Warren Barguil.<br />
