Froome's winning margin over runner-up Tejay van Garderen of the {{ct|BMC|2014}} was 26 seconds,[3] and {{ct|OPQ|2014}}'s Rigoberto Urán completed the podium, 5 seconds down on van Garderen and 31 seconds in arrears of Froome.[4] In the race's other classifications, André Greipel won the points classification for {{ct|LTB|2014}}, after winning three stages during the race,[5] while the young rider classification was won by Romain Bardet ({{ct|ALM|2014}}), as he was the best placed rider under the age of 25, in thirteenth overall. The combative classification – to which points from mountains and sprints were awarded towards – was won by Preben Van Hecke of the {{ct|TSV|2014}} team, while {{ct|SKY|2014|nolink=yes}} won the teams classification,[6] after also placing Sergio Henao inside the top ten overall, as well as Froome.
