Taupo-born Bevin moved to Cambridge to pursue his cycling ambitions in 2014, basing himself more recently in Te Awamutu.
Bevin was one of several riders that fell during a wet and slippery opening time trial in Germany, but picked himself up to finish and then persevered through the pain for three weeks.
Fellow Kiwi George Bennett was another to fall on that opening stage, but he was forced to withdraw ill in the final week, while sitting in 12th place.
On his fourth Tour, Jack Bauer was the first Kiwi home overall in 105th, having spent most of the event supporting sprinter Marcel Kittel, who won five stages before crashing on stage 17 and withdrawing.
Debutant Dion Smith was the fourth Kiwi in 124th, featuring in an unsuccessful breakaway on the final day.
