Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar, 22, completes a dominant run to his second straight title, while Wout van Aert of Belgium wins the final stage.
Tadej Pogacar won the Tour de France for the second straight year after a mostly ceremonial final stage to the Champs-Elysees in cycling’s biggest race. Wout van Aert won the 67-mile stage in a mass sprint. Van Aert, a 26-year-old Belgian, is the first rider since 1979 to win a sprint stage, a mountain stage and an individual time trial in the same edition of the Tour. The seven-time champion won at his home track to snap a run of five races without a victory and slash his gap to Verstappen from 33 points to eight.
