2025 Tour de France: Tadej Pogačar wins race for 2nd consecutive year as Wout van Aert wins Stage 21
Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar has won the 2025 Tour de France, earning the championship for the second consecutive year and fourth time in his career. Wout van Aert won the final day of the race, finishing first through a difficult Stage 21 that was paused with 50 kilometers to go and the times frozen due to dangerously slippery road conditions as the cyclists navigated the Butte Montmartre. That took any suspense or competitive element out of the final stage's last stretch, but provided another demonstration at what a difficult ordeal completing this race is. "Great from the organisers to neutralise the GC times so nobody had to risk anything," Pogačar said from the winner's podium, via The Guardian. "But I gave it a go. Wout was incredibly strong at the top of the climb and he deserves this big, big win." Pogačar had a comfortable lead of 4 minutes, 24 seconds over Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard, who won the 2022 and 2023 races. He had to cross the finish line to officially be declared the winner of the 112th Tour de France, but still raced as if he could lose the race toward the end, finishing among the last six. With four Tour de France championships, Pogačar ties British cyclist Chris Froome for second among all-time wins. Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain have each won the race five times. Here are the final standings with the top 10 finishers for the 112th racing of the Tour de France: Tadej Pogačar, Slovenia: 76 hours, 0 minutes, 32 seconds Jonas Vingegaard, Denmark: 76:04.56 (4 minutes, 24 seconds behind) Florian Lipowitz, Germany: 76:11.32 (11 minutes behind) Oscar Onley, Great Britain: 76:12.44 (12 minutes, 12 seconds behind) Felix Gall, Austria: 76:17.44 (17 minutes, 12 seconds behind) Tobias Johannessen, Norway: 76:20.46 (20 minutes, 14 seconds behind) Kevin Vauquelin, France: 76:23.07 (22 minutes, 35 seconds behind) Primoz Roglic, Slovenia: 76:26.02 (25 minutes, 30 seconds behind) Ben Healy, Ireland: 76:28.34 (28 minutes, 2 seconds behind) Jordan Jégat, France: 76:33.14 (32 minutes, 32 seconds behind) The victory for Pogačar, 26, was his fourth Tour de France championship. He also earned 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.

At least 3 killed and others injured in train derailment in southern Germany
BERLIN — A regional passenger train derailed in southern Germany on Sunday, killing at least three people and seriously injuring others, authorities said. Federal and local police said the cause of the crash near Riedlingen, roughly 158 kilometers (98 miles) west of Munich, remains under investigation. Photos from the scene showed parts of the train on its side as rescuers climbed atop the carriages. It was not immediately clear how many people were injured. Roughly 100 people were onboard the train when at least two carriages derailed in a forested area around 6:10 p.m. (1610 GMT). Storms passed through the area before the crash and investigators were seeking to determine if the rain was a factor. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, in a post on social platform X, said he mourned the victims and gave his condolences to their families. Deutsche Bahn, Germany's main national railway operator, said in a statement that it was cooperating with investigators. The company also offered its condolences.
