FILE - In this July 28, 2019, file photo, Colombia's Egan Bernal wearing the overall leader's yellow jersey, rides on the Champs-Elysees in Paris during the 21st stage of the Tour de France cycling race. It has been 35 years since a French cyclist rode down Paris' Champs-Elysees in the 21st and final stage on way to winning the grueling three-week Tour de France. Julian Alaphilippe won two stages and wore the yellow jersey as the overall Tour leader for 14 days last year. But Bernal became the first Latin American winner of the race, and at 22 the youngest post-World War II winner of the Tour. The final stage was supposed to be Sunday, but will now be Sept. 20 after the Tour was pushed back. (AP Photo/Thibault Camus, File)
