Egan Bernal became the first Colombian to win the Tour de France, as well as the youngest winner for over a century.
It's been 110 years since a rider younger than Egan Bernal won the Tour de France, with the Colombian winner the first from his nation.
Caleb Ewan won the sprint finish on the final stage in Paris, with the race leader not challenged on their procession through the capital.
He crossed the line with last year's champion and Ineos team-mate Geraint Thomas.
The Welshman began the race as joint team leader, despite preparations being disrupted with a 50mph crash in the Tour de Suisse last month.
After pulling out of the week long race, he suffered three more minor crashes in the Tour itself.
22-year-old Bernal had trailed Thomas for much of the race, but it was the Colombian who fared the better in the Alps in the final week, winning in total by one minute 11 seconds, with Dutch rider Steven Kruijswijk 20 adrift of Thomas to complete the podium.
The green points jersey classification was won for a record seventh time by Slovakian Peter Sagan, who pulled a wheelie as he rode over the finish line of the penultimate stage of the race, several minutes after the stage winner, while the polka dot King of the Mountains jersey went to Frenchman Romain Bardet.
The victory represents a seventh British-based team win in eight years, after Ineos rebranded Team Sky earlier this year.
Bradley Wiggins became the first British winner in 2012, before Chris Froome took his crown the following year, before winning it three times in a row from 2015 before Thomas won the title last year.
Bernal is just the third Colombian to win a Grand Tour race, Luis Herera won the Vuelta a Espana in 1987 before Nairo Quintana won the 2014 Giro d'Italia and the 2016 Vuelta.
Bernal was born on 13 January 1997 in Zipaquira - a city in central Colombia at an altitude of 2,650m, so perhaps it was ingrained in him to be a climbing specialist.
He showed his potential 12 months ago on his debut Tour, riding as domestique to Thomas and four-time champion Froome.
It was after winning the prestigious Tour de l'Avenir - a stage race for under-23s which has seen many of its winners go on to win the Tour de France - that he joined Team Sky in 2018.
Wins at the Tour Colombia and Tour of California followed before helping Thomas win his first Tour de France.
Bernal's win this year was not without some good fortune helping him to be team leader.
Three crashes contribute to his win, the first his own on a training ride in Andorra which ruled him out of May's Giro d'Italia where he was due to be team leader for the first time in a Grand Tour.
Froome's season-ending crash at the Criterium du Dauphine in June pushed Bernal up the Ineos hierarchy for the Tour de France, while Thomas' crash at the Tour de Suisse later the same month saw Bernal take sole leadership of the team and win that race.
He rode away from Thomas on the Tourmalet on stage 14 in the Pyrenees, and did the same twice more in the Alps to position himself as Ineos' strongest rider and secure his first Grand Tour win in only his second attempt.
Bernal is the third youngest winner of the Tour.
The youngest is France's Henri Cornet, who was 19 when he was controversially awarded victory in the second edition of the race in 1904, while Luxembourg's Francois Faber was a few days younger than Bernal when he took the 1909 title.
The 60km ride from Rambouillet to Paris was taken at a leisurely pace by Team Ineos, with Bernal and his team-mates drinking champagne to celebrate the win.
As the riders entered the capital city, the race crossed the river Seine via Le Pont Neuf, close to the medieval cathedral of Notre-Dame - with the camera operators and directors taking particular care not to show the building itself, that was largely destroyed by fire in April - before the riders swept through the grounds of the Louvre.
Defending champion Thomas lead the peloton through the Place de las Concorde and up the cobbles of the Champs-Elysees on the first lap.
With each 7km lap, the pace increased as the riders swung round the Arc de Triomphe and reaching speeds of up to 50mph down the Champs-Elysees before heading out towards the Louvre.
Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe had led the race for 14 days, giving fans hopes of a home win for the first time since 1985, but Bernal took the lead from him in the Alps in the final week.
Alaphilippe led the peloton on to the Champs-Elysees on the last lap, hoping to set up a victory for his Deceuninck Quick Step team-mate Elia Viviani, but the Italian wasn't in contention as Lotto Soudal's Ewan proved quickest.
The Australian timed his charge to the line to perfection to edge out Dutchman Dylan Groenewegen to win his third stage on his debut tour.
