2025 Tour de France standings going into final stage, with Tadej Pogačar set to win 2nd consecutive trophy
Going into Sunday's Stage 21, Pogačar has a lead of 4 minutes, 24 seconds over Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard, who won the 2022 and 2023 races. Australian rider Kaden Groves won Stage 20, but is not among the top 10 cyclists in the standings as the race advances to its final stage.
The final stage is a 132.3km ride from Mantes-la-Jolie to Paris, cycling up the Butte Montmartre three times before the final laps of the race on the famed Champs-Elysees.
Here is how the overall standings line up after Stage 20 was completed:
Tadej Pogačar, Slovenia: 69 hours, 41 minutes, 46 seconds
Jonas Vingegaard, Denmark: 69:46.10 (4 minutes, 24 seconds behind)
Florian Lipowitz, Germany: 69:52.55 (11 minutes, 9 seconds behind)
Oscar Onley, Great Britain: 69:53.58 (12 minutes, 12 seconds behind)
Felix Gall, Austria: 69:58.58 (17 minutes, 12 seconds behind)
Tobias Johannessen, Norway: 70:02.00 (20 minutes, 14 seconds behind)
Kevin Vauquelin, France: 70:04.21 (22 minutes, 35 seconds behind)
Primoz Roglic, Slovenia: 70:07.16 (25 minutes, 30 seconds behind)
Ben Healy, Ireland: 70:09.48 (28 minutes, 2 seconds behind)
Ben O'Connor, Australia: 70:16.20 (34 minutes, 34 seconds behind)
A victory for Pogačar would be his fourth Tour de France win. He also won 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 Girl and the World Championsips during the same year.

Liverpool rocked by rival contract offer for defender
Liverpool are facing considerable uncertainty over . The defender is out of contract in less than 12 months and so far no agreement has been reached over a new deal. If Konate and sporting director Richard Hughes cannot come to a conclusion over new terms then it is highly likely he will depart as a free agent in 2026. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Real Madrid have been the team most closely linked with the 26-year-old - who joined the Reds from RB Leipzig in 2021. Konate's situation is one reason why Liverpool have been linked with centre-backs this summer. Having sold Jarell Quansah - and with Joe Gomez injury prone - it appears that Virgil van Dijk is the ONLY central defender the club can count on with any degree of certainty up to 2027. Nathan Zeze on Liverpool radar And there are established links with Marc Guehi - who is out of contract with Crystal Palace in 2026 - while reports are also suggesting Ronald Araujo could be a target. Younger options have also been discussed in the shape of Giovanni Leoni, Joel Ordonez and Nathan Zeze. Zeze, 20, is a product of the Nantes academy who has reportedly been on the radar of the Reds for a few months now. However they will NOT be signing the France under-21 international having been blown out of the water by a contract offer from Saudi Arabia. NEOM SC sign Zeze NEOM SC - a newly-promoted Saudi Pro League team - have completed the signing of Zeze for around €25m - a sum that Liverpool could have easily afforded. But TBR Football is reporting that the Reds - and Bournemouth - opted against making a rival bid for Zeze owing to the riches laid in front of him by the Saudis. 'Liverpool have pulled out of a move for an 'incredible' replacement for Jarell Quansah due to a 'huge offer' from the Saudi Pro League,' the report reads. 'Nantes have agreed an overall deal worth €25million (£21.5million) – which in theory the European clubs would have matched. 'However, the terms on offer in Saudi have pushed him beyond what they were willing to do.'

Talks ‘progressing' for France to tackle British & Irish Lions
The French Rugby Federation's vice-president Abdelatif Benazzi said on Thursday informal talks are 'progressing' about a game between France and the British & Irish Lions. The teams last met in 1989 with former Les Bleus captain Benazzi eyeing a possible fixture before the invitational touring side head to New Zealand in four years' time. READ | Veteran Wallabies scrumhalf Nic White to retire after final Lions Test The Lions are currently in Australia, and clinched the series last weekend with one Test to go, on Saturday in Sydney, with a reported 40 000 fans having travelled for the tour. Before this year's series, the Lions played Argentina in Dublin. 'It's progressing, but nothing formal,' Bennazzi told AFP. 'Every four years we see the wave of people and enthusiasm it generates in all countries. 'A collaboration with our neighbours, remains something conceivable,' the 56-year-old added. Rugby already has a busy schedule but financial problems exist in the sport across the planet with a Nations Cup competition set to begin next July, replacing traditional Test matches between countries. 'We have to find a new approach to be able to energise a bit of world rugby's global image,' Benazzi said. 'We want to find a model that satisfies everyone. 'We have to reform because there's the Nations Cup that starts next year. 'All of that will be in coordination with all bodies, the players' union in France, the French national league, and the global players' union,' the 78-time international added. The Lions won the 1989 game against France 29-27 in Paris.
