Tadej Pogacar had no need to attack on the final stage of the Tour de France. Defending a lead of over five minutes in Sunday’s time trial, he was set to comfortably win the race for the third time anyway. But he couldn’t resist another attack. With main rival Jonas Vingegaard unable to challenge him, Pogacar celebrated his Tour victory in style with a dominant win in the time trial ending in Nice for the 17th stage win of his illustrious Tour career. The 25-year-old Slovenian rider became the first cyclist to win the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France in the same year since the late Marco Pantani in 1998. Pogacar previously won the Tour in 2020 and 2021.
