• Team Ineos teammate Geraint Thomas second in standings
Egan Bernal stands to win the Tour de France after finishing a shortened stage 20 into Val Thorens in the yellow jersey.
Vincenzo Nibali collected the stage victory in the Alpine ski resort but the biggest celebrations will be at the Team Ineos hotel, with their 22-year-old Colombian poised to become the youngest winner of the Tour in the post-war era. Bernal needs only to cross the finish line at the end of Sunday’s traditional procession into Paris to seal a seventh Tour win out of the last eight for the British-registered team.
