Tour de France records: Who has most wins in iconic cycling race?
Defending champion Tadej Pogačar has thus far lived up to his status as a favorite to repeat, but the Tour de France figures to be a battle to the end. Olympic gold medalist Remco Evenepoel won an early stage. Mathieu van der Poel wore the famous yellow jersey multiple days before Pogačar reclaimed it after Stage 7.
Pogačar is aiming to become just the sixth rider to claim four or more Tour de France crowns, having won in 2020, 2021 and 2024. That would put him well within range to catch (and possibly even overtake) all-time greats like Eddy Merckx and Miguel Induráin. Jonas Vingegaard (twice) and Geraint Thomas (once) are other former Tour de France champions participating in this year's race.
Here is a breakdown of the Tour de France winners:

Tour de France jerseys: What does yellow jersey signify?
Much is made at the Tour de France over acquiring specific jerseys beyond each team's uniform. Normally in sports, you wouldn't change your colors based on where you are in the standings, but the Tour de France has historically awarded specific jersey colors (or patterns) to the leader in certain categories.
Here's a breakdown of the four jersey types top riders can collect at the Tour de France:

Players' associations urge Congress to reject proposed bill granting NCAA antitrust exemption
Players' associations for the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball, NHL and MLS issued a joint statement Monday urging Congress to reject proposed legislation that would grant the NCAA and its members an antitrust exemption to address NIL issues. The statement was in response to the Student Compensation and Opportunity through Rights and Endorsements (SCORE) Act, introduced last week by members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. A markup on the bill is scheduled for Tuesday morning. Advertisement In their letter, the players' associations warned that an antitrust exemption would permit the NCAA and its members to 'collude to harm athletes.' 'Whatever progress the athletes have made has been a result of their use of the antitrust laws,' they wrote. 'The SCORE Act would take that weapon away from them.' The proposed legislation from seven Republican and two Democratic sponsors prevents athletes from obtaining employment status and mirrors many of the terms from the recent House vs. NCAA settlement. It would officially end most administrative restrictions on athletes' NIL compensation, but it allows schools and conferences to establish what is and isn't permissible. Should the federal legislation pass, it would override current state NIL laws, which vary from state to state. Earlier Monday, two members of Congress from the state of Washington, Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, and Republican Rep. Michael Baumgartner, issued a similar statement urging the House committee to delay the markup until there are significant changes. Advertisement 'The bill appears to be a product of the richest conferences to cement into place the current power structure in college athletics that would leave only the wealthiest schools able to compete at the highest levels of college athletics,' the statement said. All of the Power 5 conferences previously issued a statement endorsing the SCORE Act. 'In the absence of federal standards, student-athletes and schools have been forced to navigate a fractured regulatory framework for too long,' they wrote. 'Following the historic House settlement, this bill represents a very encouraging step toward delivering the national clarity and accountability that college athletics desperately needs.' Advertisement Last week, the NCAA said in a statement that it 'has made long overdue changes, mandating health and wellness benefits and ushering in a new system for Division I programs to provide up to 50 percent of athletic department revenue to student-athletes, but some of the most important changes can only come from Congress.' 'This bill reflects many student-athletes' priorities, and the NCAA is committed to working with Congress to build a bipartisan path forward that ensures the long-term success of college sports and the ongoing opportunities they provide to young people,' wrote Tim Buckley, the NCAA's senior vice president of external affairs. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey also praised the bill Monday. 'I think what's happening in college athletics is a nonpartisan issue, but using the typical nomenclature, to have members of both of our major political parties willing to step out and introduce the SCORE Act, is a positive step,' he said. The players' associations' letter noted that only two industries in the United States have antitrust law exemptions: railroads and Major League Baseball (partially). Advertisement 'The NCAA should not have a blank check to impose (its) will on the financial future of over 500,000 college athletes,' they wrote. This article originally appeared in The Athletic.
