Sharjah 24 – AFP: Tadej Pogacar won his fourth Tour de France crown on Sunday in Paris, finishing a commanding 3,400km race with dominance from start to finish. The Slovenian added to his previous wins in 2020, 2021, and 2024.

Final stage drama

Wout van Aert claimed the final stage victory on the cobbled Montmartre climb, outpacing Pogacar in the last meters. Rain forced organizers to neutralize times to ensure rider safety.

Vingegaard falls short

Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard finished second, 4 minutes and 24 seconds behind Pogacar, after struggling in the Pyrenees and time trials. Newcomer Florian Lipowitz of Germany took third, 11 minutes back.

Rising stars and key moments

  • Oscar Onley (Scotland) impressed with a fourth-place finish.
  • Ben Healy (Ireland) won a stage, wore yellow for two days, and earned the combativity award.
  • Ineos Grenadiers saw Filippo Ganna exit early, but Thymen Arensman claimed two stage wins.
  • France celebrated a surprise win on Mont Ventoux by Valentin Paret-Peintre.

A tour to remember

With four stage wins and commanding climbs, Pogacar’s all-round dominance defined the 2025 Tour, confirming his legacy as one of cycling’s greats.
