The final 21st stage of the 2016 Tour had the profile of a fast stretch, but not of one designed to rock the overall classification, which it did not do obviously. It was performed at a high although sensible speed:: an average of 41.54 km/h for both the winner and the pack. The overall Tour average speeds, 39.92 km/h for the winners, and 38.33 km/h for the pack, are below those attained in the last three Tours, and remain well under the historical fastest Tour, completed at the average of 41.65 km/h in 2005.
