TADEJ POGACAR SECURED his third Tour de France title with another show of strength, bossing the closing time trial to claim a sixth stage win of this year’s race and his third in as many days.
The top three on the general classification finished in the same positions on the stage, with Pogacar clocking a time of 45:24, 63 seconds up on Vingegaard with another 11 seconds between the Dane and Remco Evenepoel. Pogacar finished the Tour with a margin of victory of six minutes and 17 seconds, reclaiming the Tour title Vingegaard has held for the last two years, and confirming him as the first man to complete the Giro-Tour double since Marco Pantani in 1998.
