Pogacar begins final week of 2025 Tour de France in touching distance of legend

Three-time champion Tadej Pogacar will spend Monday's rest day of the 2025 Tour de France savouring his feats in the Pyrenees of southern France that have helped him establish a four-minute lead over his arch rival and two-time victor Jonas Vingegaard. Pogacar, who is seeking a fourth title that will take him joint fifth on the all-time winner's list, claimed the 12th and 13th stages to open up the gap on Vingegaard. The wins on Thursday and Friday also furnished him with his 20th and 21st stage victories. Friday's 10.9 km time trial for the 13th stage was completed in 23 minutes. 'I really wanted to go all out from start to finish, smashing the pedals as much as possible,' said Pogacar. 'I almost blew out in the end but I saw the time on the finish arch and it gave me an extra push because I saw I was going to win.' Pogacar, the UAE Team Emirates-XRG leader, cemented his grip on the race during Thursday's first big mountain stage on the slopes of Hautacam, where he destroyed the field to reclaim the yellow jersey after it had adorned the back of the Irish rider Ben Healy for two days 'So far, so good,' said Pogacar. "We're just a bit over halfway now and it's still a long way to Paris but if we keep riding like this and don't do any mistakes, then we can be satisfied with this margin." Vingegaard says he will fight on Vingegaard, who won cycling's most prestigious race in 2022 and 2023, vowed to keep fighting. "The Tour is far from over," insisted the 28-year-old Dane. "We have to keep believing we can do something here in the race." Tim Wellens, Pogacar's teammate took stage 15 on Sunday. The 34-year-old Belgian completed the 169.3km between Muret and Carcassonne in three hours, 34 minutes and nine seconds. Victor Campenaerts was second and Julien Alaphilippe was third. "I had the opportunity, I took it, and I had legs to finish it," said Wellens who ended the course 88 seconds ahead of Campenaerts. 'I knew that I had to enjoy the moment,' Wellens added. 'I kept riding until the finish line because I wanted a big gap to fully enjoy it and maybe put my bike in the air after the finish. But I was so happy to win that I forgot to do it.' The tour resumes on Tuesday with a 171.5km run between Montpellier and Mont Ventoux and concludes on Sunday along the Champs Elysées in Paris.

Tour de France pays respects to 19-year-old cyclist who died after a crash in Italy

AUCH, France (AP) — Tour de France riders applauded for a minute before the 12th stage on Thursday in memory of Samuele Privitera, the 19-year-old Italian who died after a crash while racing in Italy the day before. Privitera crashed in the first stage of the Tour of Valle D'Aosta in the northwestern municipality of Pontey on Wednesday. Race organizers said the circumstances of the accident were 'still unclear and are being investigated by public safety authorities.' 'It's really sad to lose another young talent today, it's devastating,' Tour de France favorite Tadej Pogačar, who crashed on Wednesday, said before Thursday's stage. 'It is one of the most dangerous sports in the world I think, and the risk that we are taking sometimes is too far. But I'm really really really sad for all his family. May he rest in peace.' Privitera was a member of the Hagens Berman Jayco team, the development team for Jayco Alula, which is racing at the Tour de France and whose members including Ben O'Connor wore black armbands. 'Samuele was and always will be the life and personality of this team,' Hagens Berman Jayco team director Axel Merckx said in a statement. 'This team has always been a small family, and moments like this are unimaginable. He was irreplaceable. His joy, his spirit, his kindness, was always a bright light to whatever room or race that he was in at that moment. To lose him is devastating beyond words.' Italian media reports said Privitera crashed on a descent about 35 kilometers from the finish in Aosta at a speed of almost 70 kph. He reportedly lost his helmet and crashed into a barrier. The second stage of the the Tour of Valle D'Aosta was canceled and participating teams were being given a choice whether to continue with the third stage on Friday. ___ AP sports: The Associated Press
