A Tour de France that almost didn’t happen ended up among the most exciting in the race’s 117-year history.
Tadej Pogacar, a 21-year-old Slovenian, rode into Paris on Sunday as the first man in more than 60 years to pedal in the yellow jersey for the first time on the final day of a Tour.
Let’s get the achievements out of the way: Pogacar is the first Slovenian to win the Tour, finishing with the other overall leaders behind stage winner Sam Bennett on the Champs-Elysees.
He is the second-youngest winner in race history, after Henri Cornet in 1904.
