French road racing cyclist; first to win Tour de France five times
Tadej Pogačar has secured a fifth Tour de France victory, joining a rare club of five-time winners. The Slovenian clinches the title after a tense final stage on the Champs-Élysées, with Remco Evenepoel second and Isaac del Toro third. Vingegaard crashes earlier in the race, and the finish is marked by a photo finish on Montmartre.
Daisy Vollering has claimed victory on stage 9 and extended her overall lead at the Tour de France Femmes, joining Annemiek van Vleuten as the second rider to win multiple titles in the event’s modern era. Niewiadoma-Phinney and Longo Borghini complete the podium as the race heads into its final stages.
Riders are facing checks over padded bras that could alter airflow, with the UCI enforcing rules on non-essential clothing. Updates cite race organisers' inspections ahead of time trials, and debates over potential advantages.
