The Slovenian rider won the most prestigious competition for the 3rd time.

Tadej Pogacar won the Tour de France for the 3rd time and celebrated in style with a win in today’s final stage – a time trial that finished in Nice.

The 25-year-old Slovenian cyclist became the 1st to win the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France in the same season since the late Marco Pantani in 1998.

The 2-time defending champ Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark finished 2nd. Jonas also secured the 2nd place in the final stage.

Tadej triumphed at the 34-kilometer time trial on the French Riviera’s roads from Monaco to Nice in 45 minutes and 24 seconds. Pogacar was 1 minute and 3 seconds ahead of the 2nd placed Jonas as the top 3 ended Remco Evenepoel.

Pogacar won the 2024 Tour de France 6 minutes and 17 seconds ahead of his Danish opponent, and Remco was 3rd overall but almost 10 minutes behind Tadej. The Tour didn’t end in the French capital because of the upcoming Olympics.
