German rider Lipowitz welcomes a break after Tour de France podium heroics
dpa Paris Florian Lipowitz planned a quiet Monday in Paris after a stunning third-place finish at the Tour de France the previous day. 'I am looking forward to the break,' the Tour debutant said after completing the final podium behind four-time winner Tadej Pogacar and ex-champion Jonas Vingegaard. Lipowitz said he would stay in Paris Monday and enjoy a croissant and a café au lait with his partner as he admitted he still has to come to terms with his biggest career success, which also includes winning the white jersey classification for the best young rider. 'It will take me another day or two to realize what happened over the past three weeks. It was always my dream. I never thought it would become reality. It is very special to ride onto the podium in my first Tour,' the 24-year-old Lipowitz said. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was among those to congratulate Lipowitz. 'A sensational German success at the Tour de France. Congratulations, Florian Lipowitz on an outstanding third place,' Merz said on platform X, adding that he had 'thrilled many cycling fans across the country.' Lipowitz is the first German on the final Tour podium since Andreas Klöden in 2006 to make the final Tour podium. The former biathlete had already shown his big talent by coming seventh at last year's Vuelta a Espana, and he finished third behind Pogacar and Vingegaard at the Critérium du Dauphiné last month. Lipowitz admitted that Pogacar and Vingegaard are 'still at another level' but he has now firmly established himself among the best. Lipowitz gave the Red Bull team a first Tour podium after the team celebrated victories at the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta in previous years. Team general manager Ralph Denk spoke of 'a milestone' and 'the icing on the cake to achieve it with a rider you became a pro cyclist at your team.' Denk named the development of Lipowitz 'a project of the heart' and said it would be 'a dream' if Lipowitz could win the Tour one day. Lipowitz meanwhile also remained relaxed around speculation that double Olympic gold medallist and time trial world champion Remco Evenepoel could join the team. 'I would be happy as well if he really comes. We could achieve something great together,' he said.

Final yellow jersey and general classification standings as Tour de France ends in Paris
Tadej Pogacar has won the 2025 Tour de France, finishing on the podium for the sixth successive year and winning his fourth crown in Paris at the age of just 26. Stage 12 saw the first real mountain test of the Tour and Pogacar - despite suffering a late crash in the closing kilometres of stage 11 - passed with flying colours, powering away from his rivals on the lower slopes of the infamous hors-categorie Hautacam, and from then on, there was no stopping the Slovenian. He put even more time into closest challenger and eventual runner-up Jonas Vingegaard, who was further weakened by his key mountain lieutenants Matteo Jorgenson, Sepp Kuss, and Simon Yates all enduring bad days at the office in the opening Pyrenean stage. Pogacar won his third stage of this Tour - having already won stages four and seven - at the summit finish and moved back into yellow after spending spells in the race lead during the opening week. And Pogacar continued his masterclass with back-to-back stage wins as he won stage 13's mountainous time trial, extending his gap over Vingegaard to more than four minutes despite a better performance from the Dane. The defending champion became the youngest rider to reach 21 Tour de France stage wins with his victory atop the Peyragudes category-one climb, and ultimately finished 4'24' ahead of Vingegaard, with German 24-year-old Florian Lipowitz finishing third and sealing the best young rider's classification at 11 minutes back. Here is how the riders stand in each classification after stage 21 of the Tour de France. Stage 21 results Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike), in 3:07:30 Davide Ballerini (XDS Astana), +19'' Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious) Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike), +26' Matteo Trentin (Tudor Pro Cycling), +38' Arnaud de Lie (Lotto), +1'14' Kevin Vauquelin (Arkea-B&B Hotels) Mike Teunissen (XDS Astana) Dylan Teuns (Cofidis), all at same time General classification Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates - XRG) in 76:00:32 Jonas Vingegaard (Visma - Lease a Bike) +4:24 Florian Lipowitz (Red Bull-BORA-Hansgrohe) +11:00 Oscar Onley (Picnic PostNL) +12:12 Felix Gall (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) +17:12 Tobias Johannessen (Uno-X Mobility) +20:14 Kevin Vauquelin (Arkea - B&B Hotels) +22:35 Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-BORA-Hansgrohe) +25:30 Ben Healy (EF Education - EasyPost) +28:02 Jordan Jegat (TotalEnergies) + 32:42 Points classification Jonathan Milan (Lidl‑Trek) 372 pts Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) 294 pts Biniam Girmay (Intermarché‑Wanty) 232 pts Jonas Vingegaard (Visma - Lease a Bike) 182 pts Anthony Turgis (TotalEnergies) 169 pts King of the mountains (KOM) classification Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) 119 pts Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) 104 pts Lenny Martinez (Bahrain Victorious) 97 pts (includes 8 point penalty) Thymen Arensman (Ineos Grenadiers) 85 pts Ben O'Connor (Jayco AlUla) 51 pts

Pogacar leads peloton into Paris for Tour de France climax
Tadej Pogacar leads the Tour de France into Paris on Sunday on the cusp of a fourth title after a dominant 21-day romp over the peaks and plains of France. The final day normally culminates with a parade into the French capital and a sprint on the famed Champs-Elysees avenue. But for the first time organisers are sending the race through the narrow cobbled lanes of the north Parisian neighbourhood of Montmartre, in a nod to the route used to much fanfare for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The detour could well provoke a long-range attack and champion-in-waiting Pogacar said he may target the stage win from there. "We'll see what happens and how the legs are," the Slovenian said after Saturday's stage. The 21st and final stage, a 132km ride from Mantes-la-Ville to the Champs-Elysees, features three ascents of Montmartre where droves of fans are expected to crown a vintage edition of the sport's most prestigious cycling stage race. Barring a final-day fall, the top three places on this Tour were fixed on two ascents to Alpine ski resorts, where Pogacar shook off any final resistance from Danish rival Jonas Vingegaard, who put up a brave challenge before fading to second for Team Visma. But this Tour has not just been about the rivalry between Pogacar, a Tour winner in 2020, 2021 and 2024, and Vingegaard, victor in 2022 and 2023. - Emerging stars - A barnstorming first week of racing unveiled a raft of emerging stars. Florian Lipowitz, 24, sits in third place to put Germany back on the map as Red Bull's arrival in the world of professional cycling immediately impacted the Tour. Lipowitz was given a run for his money by 22-year-old Scot Oscar Onley, whose steady ride propelled him to fourth overall. Five of his Picnic–PostNL teammates hail from the same youth team. Ireland's Ben Healy bagged a stage win and a two-day stint in the yellow jersey. A heroic near miss on Mont Ventoux should be enough to earn Healy the publicly voted-for prize for combativity. The return of Dave Brailsford from Manchester United to Ineos Grenadiers was overshadowed by Italian powerhouse Filippo Ganna falling early on stage one and being withdrawn due to concussion. Having previously masterminded seven Tour de France wins, Brailsford dug in and the team's Dutch climber Thymen Arensman pulled off heists in the Pyrenees and the Alps with well-executed attacks. Another Dutch rider, Mathieu van der Poel, lit up the first week, sealing a stage two win and twice wearing the yellow jersey. France's sole and unexpected stage win came on the lunar-like summit of Mont Ventoux thanks to Valentin Paret-Peintre. The 2025 Tour, however, will be remembered mainly for Pogacar's all-round dominance. He won stages on rolling runs in the north and west at Rouen and the Mur de Bretagne in the first week, then on the mountain slopes of the Pyrenees on the Hautacam and Peyragudes in week two. As the Tour entered its end game Pogacar unexpectedly switched his attacking default setting to nurse his lead through the Alps. Vingegaard had two off days, first on a long time trial and secondly at the Hautacam slog. It was enough for Pogacar to assert himself and never look back. dmc/lp/mw
