Sam Bennett stayed inside the time cut to keep him on course to win the points classification at the Tour de France in Paris on Sunday.
Bennett has a lead of 55 points over Peter Sagan - winner of the green jersey a record seven times - and could have the classification wrapped up by the intermediate sprint on the run in to Paris, which would leave him free to concentrate on a potential stage win on the Champs-Elysees.
"I think when I arrive into the Champs-Elysees and that first lap it's going to be another thing that's going to be amazing, I'll probably have a tear in my eye," Bennett said.
"It's something you always dream about. I'm looking forward to the occasion and doing the best race we can possibly do and seeing if we can take home another stage."
Tadej Pogacar stands to claim overall victory after his friend and fellow Slovenian Primoz Roglic crumbled on Saturday's time trial to La Planche des Belles Filles.
In one of the most dramatic finales to a Tour since Greg Lemond snatched yellow off the shoulders of Laurent Fignon in Paris in 1989, Pogacar delivered the performance of his young career to essentially win the race before Sunday's traditional procession into Paris.
Pogacar, who turns 22 on Monday, will become the Tour's second youngest winner after the 19-year-old Henri Cornet won a very different event back in 1904.
