The victory also won him the white jersey, which he successfully defended in the 20th stage.
The previous year, he had won the white jersey for best young rider, and a seventh place finish overall.
"I wanted so much to win the prologue and the yellow jersey," he said.
He won the stage, the yellow jersey and the Tour.
Due to his two wins he consolidated enough points to win the green jersey.
He finished fourth then, winning the white jersey of the best younger rider, but has been 16th, 15th and 22d in the three years since.
He also won the green jersey in the 1973 Tour de France without winning a single stage.
By passing first over the day's two small hills, he won the climbing jersey for the stage.
But we'll continue to fight all the way to the end and hopefully that'll be enough to win the red jersey.
But I'm not necessarily here to win the yellow jersey.
