Chris Froome reigned supreme in Paris once again with his fourth title, after another incident-packed Tour de France.
There was plenty of drama, with five-time green jersey winner Peter Sagan disqualified, contenders Alejandro Valverde and Richie Porte crashing out, 'water-bottle gate' involving George Bennett, and Jack Bauer getting swung at by Nacer Bouhanni.
Amongst all the action, here's how the four New Zealanders fared.
George Bennett - DNF
Undoubtedly the star of the show from a Kiwi perspective, Bennett was on track for an historic Top 10 finish before illness curtailed his hopes.
He recovered brilliantly from a fall in the opening time trial to stake a claim as one of the best climbers in the field.
Highlights included a seventh place finish on Stage 9, and his performance on Stage 12, where he ended up eighth after attacking on the final climb.
The crippling fever was a cruel way for his Tour to end, but his time in France was memorable, and showed his podium potential at a Grand Tour.
Jack Bauer - 105th
The 32-year old was everywhere in an action-packed three weeks.
He adjusted brilliantly to his role in the lead-out train for German sprinter Marcel Kittel, who ended up with five stage victories.
His strong showing in support of Kittel was impressive, and he's likely to continue to be a key man for the big sprinter in the future.
Bauer also showed off his versatility, helping team-mate Dan Martin to a second place finish on Stage 5, and getting in the breakaway and climbing well on Stage 12.
He also brushed off an attempted punch from fire-cracker Nacer Bouhanni and sped to 11th in the time-trial, in a quality all-round performance.
Dion Smith - 124th
A proper under-the-radar showing from the 24-year old, who quietly went about his business and performed admirably in his first Grand Tour.
He was part of a Wanty-Groupe Gobert team who had nine rookies competing, and tried to get in the breakaway as often as they could.
With a lack of support, Smith recorded four Top 20 finishes in stages favouring the sprinters.
He was caught up in a crash on Stage 4 but managed to shake it off easily enough, and had a crack in the breakaway on the final stage. Overall, he can be very pleased with his efforts.
Patrick Bevin - 114th
He received a tough introduction to his first Tour de France after a spectacular crash on the opening time-trial in Dusseldorf.
He managed to pick himself up, pass the concussion tests and get back on the bike, showing plenty of grit and determination.
Bevin later revealed he had broken his foot on the opening stage, making it even more remarkable that he managed to finish the Tour.
He was also caught up in a crash on Stage 17 but soldiered on, helping team-mate Rigoberto Uran to a spot on the podium in Paris.
An incredible three weeks essentially riding with just one foot, and he will have learnt plenty from his first experience.
