The final stage in Paris was contested by 174 riders, with 24 of the riders failing to finish the race, a record low number of withdrawals.[5][6] The race was won by Chris Froome (Team Sky), the champion from both the 2013 Tour and the 2015 Tour.[7] Froome first took the lead of the race following the eighth stage after attacking on the descent into Bagnères-de-Luchon. He extended his lead on stages 11 and 13 before further extending his lead in the Alps to win his third Tour de France.[7] Frenchman Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale) finished second, 4 minutes and 5 seconds behind Froome, with Nairo Quintana (Movistar Team) third.[8] Adam Yates (Orica–BikeExchange) won the competition for the best young rider.[7] The points classification was won for the fifth consecutive year by Peter Sagan (Tinkoff), who also won the combativity award.[7] Rafał Majka (Tinkoff) of Poland won the mountains classification, while Movistar won the team classification.[7] In the lists below the teams are listed in order of the race number worn by its cyclists.

The 2016 Tour de France was the third consecutive Tour de France that Bora–Argon 18 and Fortuneo–Vital Concept had been invited to compete as a wildcard. After the wildcard announcement, Bora–Argon 18's team manager, Ralph Denk, said, "These are great news today! [sic], To be invited for the third time in a row to the world's biggest cycling event is a big honour, and I want to thank the ASO for their trust in us."[2]

Notes

  1. [n 1]
    The race numbers were handed out based on the team leader's result in the 2015 Tour de France. The better the team leader did in the 2015 Tour, the lower the race numbers handed to his team. For example, Team Sky were given numbers 1 to 9 due to Chris Froome winning the 2015 Tour.[12]
