Chris Froome is set to become the first Briton to win three Tour de France titles after safely negotiating a rain-soaked penultimate stage in the Alps.
The stormy weather made for tricky racing on slippery roads but Team Sky's Froome survived the final descent into Morzine to maintain his overall lead.
Froome's advantage over Romain Bardet of four minutes, 11 seconds will not be challenged on the final stage in Paris.
Stage 20 was won by Spanish Movistar rider Jon Izaguirre.
He rode clear of fellow breakaway riders Jarlinson Pantano of the IAM Cycling team and 2014 Tour de France winner Vincenzo Nibali on the rain-soaked roads to win in four hours, six minutes, 45 seconds.
