Chris Froome retained the yellow jersey

Chris Froome all but wrapped up his fourth Tour de France title after finishing third in the 22.5km individual time trial on Saturday.

Froome finished six seconds behind stage winner Maciej Bodnar and increased his lead over Rigoberto Uran in the overall classification to 54 seconds.

Sunday’s stage into Paris is traditionally a procession, so Froome will only need to stay upright to win the race.

South Africa’s Daryl Impey finished fifth on stage 20, 20 seconds behind Bodnar.

Countryman Louis Meintjes is eighth in the overall classification, eight minutes and 20 seconds behind Froome.

1. Maciej Bodnar (Pol/Bora-Hansgrohe) 28mins 15secs
