Tadej Pogačar of Slovenia outclassed the field with a convincing victory in the world's most prestigious cycling race. Highlights, results are here.

As Tadej Pogacar relaxed on the sands of Seychelles, the 2025 Tour de France route was revealed last October. So was, it turned out, a theme of the Slovenian's pursuit of a fourth Tour title: the ghosts of Pogi's past.
