Pogacar Poised for Fourth Tour de France Title

Tadej Pogacar is set to secure his fourth Tour de France title, holding a lead of over four minutes on Jonas Vingegaard as the race enters its final, traditionally processional stage in Paris. Pogacar has won four stages this year and has worn the yellow jersey since Stage 13, consistently responding to challenges from Vingegaard, particularly on key climbs. The 2025 Tour has been marked by its exceptional difficulty, with Pogacar demonstrating notable resilience and tactical skill. Dutchman Thymen Arensman and Australian Kaden Groves each claimed stage victories in the final days, with Arensman's win carrying symbolic value for Ineos as the British team seeks a revival. Breakout performances have also come from Florian Lipowitz, who excelled in his debut Tour. Barring unforeseen events, Pogacar will join the sport's all-time greats by winning his fourth Tour at age 26.
