The 20th stage of the 2006 Tour de France was 154.5 km long and led the remaining 139 riders from the Parc de Sceaux in Antony to Paris on the Champs-Elysées . There the finish line was crossed eight times on the 6.5 km long final lap between the Tuileries , Place de la Concorde and Place Charles de Gaulle .
As in previous years, the first part of the stage was like a leisurely coffee trip. At the first mountain classification, Michael Rasmussen , the leader in the mountain classification, was given the right of way. On entering the Champs-Elysées, 40-year-old Vyacheslav Yekimov drove out of the field to say goodbye to the fans, as it was his 15th and final Tour de France.
Then the race started with a few attacks from the field, but the sprinter teams wouldn't let them go. Only on the fourth lap was a group of 12 able to pull away, which was about 30 seconds ahead of the peloton. But she was caught on the sixth lap. The field went closed on the eighth and final lap. Although some drivers tried to repeat Alexander Vinokourov's coup from the previous year, this time the stage was decided in the sprint. Thor Hushovd overtook powerfully after Robbie McEwen took the field and also won by some distance from Stuart O'Grady and Erik Zabel .
At the end of the tour, the one minute lead of the winner Floyd Landis over the second Óscar Pereiro and the 1:29 min over the third Andreas Klöden were the smallest lead that a winner had ever over the third placed.
At the end of the 3,657.1 km long tour , 139 of the 176 registered drivers who had started the prologue in Strasbourg reached the finish in Paris.
