Pogačar seals third Tour de France title in Nice
Slovenian star makes history on road to victory
Tadej Pogačar was crowned Tour de France Champion 2024 after an almost faultless three-week performance which saw him win 6 stage wins in the process.
The confirmation of his victory came on the streets of Nice on the Stage 21-time trial, which he won on his home training roads in a blistering time of 45’25”.
Pogačar finished the Tour de France in 83h38’56”, ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-LAB) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quickstep) in the overall standings.
Pogačar made history along the way in becoming the first rider ever to be on the podium in his first 7 Grand Tours.
In conquering his third Grande Boucle (84th career success, 21st of the season), Pogačar was supported by teammates Joao Almeida, Pavel Sivakov, Adam Yates, Tim Wellens, Nils Pollitt, and Marc Soler. Juan Ayuso was forced out of the race on stage 13.
The talented group also climbed the podium as winners of the teams’ classification.
Pogačar: “I am super happy. I cannot describe how happy I am after two hard years in the Tour de France, in which we always made some mistakes that cost us the race. This year, everything was down to perfection. I’m super happy, it’s incredible. This is the first Grand Tour on which I have been totally confident every day.
Even on the last Giro I had one bad day – I won’t tell which one. This Tour de France has been amazing. I have enjoyed it from day one until today.
Today I started with a good vibe. It was lovely to start from the F1 grid of the best F1 circuit ever! I was only listening to my times compared to Remco. I was feeling super good over the top of the first climb. In my head, I had my girlfriend Urska’s words – that she hated me because I always did this road on training. But it was not wasted time, as it was useful today.
These last few years we have been hearing that this is the best era of cycling. If I was not competing, I would say the same. This kind of competition with Remco, Jonas, Primoz… is just incredible. And many young guys are coming, more and more. We have to enjoy this beautiful era of cycling.”
