The 2025 Tour de France is set to complete its final stage, and Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar is poised to win the race for the second consecutive year.
Going into Sunday’s Stage 21, Pogačar has a lead of 4 minutes, 24 seconds over Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard, who won the 2022 and 2023 races. Australian rider Kaden Groves won Stage 20, but is not among the top 10 cyclists in the standings as the race advances to its final stage.
The final stage is a 132.3km ride from Mantes-la-Jolie to Paris, cycling up the Butte Montmartre three times before the final laps of the race on the famed Champs-Elysees.
Here is how the overall standings line up after Stage 20 was completed:
-
Tadej Pogačar, Slovenia: 69 hours, 41 minutes, 46 seconds
-
Jonas Vingegaard, Denmark: 69:46.10 (4 minutes, 24 seconds behind)
-
Florian Lipowitz, Germany: 69:52.55 (11 minutes, 9 seconds behind)
-
Oscar Onley, Great Britain: 69:53.58 (12 minutes, 12 seconds behind)
-
Felix Gall, Austria: 69:58.58 (17 minutes, 12 seconds behind)
-
Tobias Johannessen, Norway: 70:02.00 (20 minutes, 14 seconds behind)
-
Kevin Vauquelin, France: 70:04.21 (22 minutes, 35 seconds behind)
-
Primoz Roglic, Slovenia: 70:07.16 (25 minutes, 30 seconds behind)
-
Ben Healy, Ireland: 70:09.48 (28 minutes, 2 seconds behind)
-
Ben O’Connor, Australia: 70:16.20 (34 minutes, 34 seconds behind)
After winning Stage 18 through the Alpine, Pogačar broke Peter Sagan’s record for most jerseys won during Tour de France competition. The yellow jersey goes to the overall leader, green to the top points winner for a particular stage, polka dot to the rider with the most points through the mountain stages and white to the best young rider.
A victory for Pogačar, 26, would be his fourth Tour de France win. He also won consecutive Coupe Omnisports trophies in 2020 and 2021, prior to Vingegaard’s two straight wins. Last year’s Tour de France victory made him only the third male cyclist in history to win the Triple Crown of Cycling, also finishing first in the Giro and the World Championships during the same year.
