Tadej Pogacar joins the greats with fifth Tour de France title

Tadej Pogacar has achieved a record-equalling fifth Tour de France victory, joining Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, and Miguel Indurain. The event concluded in Paris, where Mathieu van der Poel secured his second stage win on the Champs-Élysees after breaking clear on the Butte de Montmartre. Eddy Merckx, regarded as the greatest-ever cyclist, believes Pogacar will soon surpass the current record. The result cements the Slovene rider's place among the most successful cyclists in history.
