Overview

• Tadej Pogacar sealed his fourth overall victory with a more than four-minute lead over Jonas Vingegaard, matching Chris Froome’s four Tour titles.
• He outperformed rivals with a decisive attack on the Hautacam climb and an uphill time trial in the Pyrenees.
• Organisers froze general classification times about 50 km from the finish as heavy rain made Montmartre’s cobbles hazardous.
• Wout van Aert exploited the neutralised GC battle to launch a solo break on the final climb and win stage 21 on the Champs-Élysées.
• Pogacar added the polka-dot jersey for the mountains classification while German Florian Lipowitz finished third overall and captured the white jersey on his Tour debut.
