Tadej Pogacar stepped into Paris on Sunday to complete his fourth Tour de France title, while Wout van Aert celebrated a famous victory in the last stage, as three circuits of the hill of Montmartre were added to the traditional finish on the Champs-Elys\u00e9es for the first time.<\/p>\n
The Slovenian Star Pogacar came as a clear favorite on this year’s tour and experienced the expectations from start to finish and ultimately ended with a comfortable lead of four minutes and 24 seconds over Denmark Jonas Vingegaard. The German Florian Lipowitz was around 11 minutes behind Pogacar, rode for the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe team and marked a successful tour entry for the Austrian Energy Drink brand.<\/p>\n

Tour director Christian Prudhomme made no secret of the fact that he was "jealous" on the spectacle of the riders during the Olympic Games in Paris.

But when the drivers arrived there, there were 50 in the peloton. Now there will be 150 of us who fight for position in a very narrow climb. It will add more stress than we want. "<\/p>\n
Former German Sprinter Marcel Kittel also complained about the tradition Champs-Elys\u00e9es The climax and legend: "My heart injures it as a sprinter." But Pogacar didn’t complain. "Everyone celebrates in their own way, I just want peace and nice weather, not like today," he said, soaking in Paris rain. "Now to enjoy only a few quiet days at home."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
