Tadej Pogacar secured his record-equalling fifth Tour de France title on Sunday following the 21st and final stage around Paris. The 27-year-old Slovenian cyclist achieved what he described as a big goal, while Mathieu van der Poel won the final stage of the race.
With this victory, Pogacar joins Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, and Miguel Indurain as one of the most successful riders in the history of the sport. His current level of supremacy leaves few riders able to challenge him, placing him among the greatest cyclists and positioning him as a potential contender to become the best of all time in future years.
