Tadej Pogacar confirms his status as one of cycling’s all-time greats after winning a record-equaling fifth Tour de France title in emphatic style. Daring mountain attacks, multiple stage wins and an ice-cool temperament all helped the 27-year-old Slovenian seal victory on Sunday to join Belgian Eddy Merckx, Spaniard Miguel Indurain and Frenchmen Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault as the only riders to win five Tours. After Sunday’s 21st and final stage in Paris, Pogacar finished 6 minutes, 26 seconds ahead of Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel. Pogacar’s UAE Team Emirates XRG teammate Isaac Del Toro was third. Pogacar hinted he could compete in the upcoming Spanish Vuelta, a race he has not won.
