text:  For the race to leave Paris, it's almost like it's identity to finish in Paris. I love that finish. I love that finale. I think it's wonderful and I know riders love it too. But it gives the race a great opportunity to try something new. What they've tried to do is try something different and really keep that battle between the general classification riders going all the way until the end. It is a really hard route. It's always savage though.
