Tadej Pogačar won the Tour de France in Paris on Sunday for the fifth time, matching the historic record of the race's most successful riders. The 27-year-old Slovenian confirmed the yellow jersey after the final stage and joined Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain. dennikn.sk ↗
The conclusion followed on from earlier developments, in which Pogačar significantly strengthened his lead after winning at the Tourmalet. Remco Evenepoel did beat Pogačar by 28 seconds in Tuesday's individual time trial on the French side of Lake Geneva, but the Slovenian retained his decisive advantage. The Tour was also marked by the withdrawals of Jonas Vingegaard and Florian Lipowitz following crashes, yet Pogačar held on to his position despite his team being weakened and despite debates over nighttime anti-doping checks. ta3.com ↗
The final stage was shortened due to the deployment of security forces because of forest fires in the Gironde region, yet it still delivered a dramatic sporting finale in Paris. On the route featuring passages near Montmartre, Mathieu van der Poel won after a duel with Pogačar, who arrived at the finish as the certain overall winner. In the preceding mountain stage, Richard Carapaz triumphed and claimed the polka-dot jersey, while Sepp Kuss lost his chance at a stage win following crashes. teraz.sk ↗
Pogačar's next goal will be a subject of debate, since his fifth triumph has matched the Tour's maximum. Eddy Merckx has already suggested that the Slovenian could break the record, while Pogačar himself, after crossing the finish line, emphasized the present moment rather than historical comparisons. hnonline.sk ↗
