Pourquoi c'est important
Tadej Pogacar's consistent dominance in the Tour de France.
Tadej Pogacar’s record-equalling fifth Tour de France title puts him among the greatest cyclists in the sport, and he could become the best of all in years to come. After Sunday’s 21st and final stage in Paris, the 27-year-old Slovenian joined Belgian Eddy Merckx, Spaniard Miguel Indurain, and Frenchmen Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault as the only riders to win five Tour titles. Pogacar finished six minutes and 26 seconds ahead of Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel, a time trial great, in the overall standings. Jonas Vingegaard, who was once Pogacar’s main rival, crashed out of the race on the 15th stage. Vingegaard, a former fish factory worker from Denmark, won the Tour in 2022 and 2023. For his second title, he beat Pogacar by more than seven minutes in a result that put them level at 2-2 for Tour titles. Pogacar has since won the Tour three straight times.
