Tour de France 2025 final standings: Tadej Pogacar crowned champion
Even with the title all but secure, Pogacar still mounted a spirited challenge in the final stage as a heavy rain drenched competitors and spectators alike for the finish. A crowd of several hundred thousand lined the streets of Paris despite a late thundershower to watch the conclusion of the 112th Tour. Pogacar, 26, began the final stage four minutes and 24 seconds ahead of two-time winner Jonas Vingegaard. Threatening weather conditions in Paris led race officials to freeze riders' times with 50 kilomters to go. Vingegaard finished as the runner-up, with Florian Lipowitz completing the podium.

He is among the lead pack of six riders as they make their rounds up Butte Montmartre. With the rain intesifying and the cobblestones as slippery as ever, Pogacar has added an extra layer of excitement to Stage 21. Belgium's Wout van Aert eventually claimed the stage win with a late breakaway. The competitive portion of Stage 21 has begun as cyclists make their second pass on the circuit through the streets of downtown Paris and along the Seine River. Riders will wind their way past landmarks such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Louve and the Eiffel Tower. Each lap is approximately six kilometers. Jonathan Milan of Italy won the intermediate sprint section to clinch the green jersey for this year's Tour. From there, they will make three climbs up the Butte Montmartre before returning to the Champs-Elysees and the finish line. Get the champagne ready! The final stage of this year's Tour de France will not have an all-out sprint to the finish. According to The Guardian, race organizers have declared that times will be frozen with 50 kilometers to go due to hazardous road conditions. That means all race leader Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia has to do is cross the finish line at the Champs-Elysees to claim his fourth Tour title. But plenty of racing still remains. As the skies darken, Tour de France racers could find some slippery conditions as they hit the cobblestones entering Paris. Most riders do have rain gear tucked into the back of their jerseys so they can stay dry, but they'll have to change on the fly. Race organizers also say they could alter the finish to prevent any possibility of crashes impacting the final standings. Passing by the Palace of Versailles, the riders are almost at the start of the second climb of the stage at Cote du Pave des Gardes. Nearly 10 kilometers in, the riders remain in processional mode, heading toward the first climbing run at the Cote de Bazemont. The rain is picking up as the peloton proceeds at a leisurely pace. The elements can play havoc with the cyclists at any time, but if there's any unusual weather over the final stage of the Tour de France, things could change quickly. Although the skies are sunny in Paris as Stage 21 is set to begin, there's some rain expected along the route from Mantes-La-Ville. The forecast along the route is for cloudy skies with rain likely and temperatures in the low 70s Fahrenheit. If race leader Tadej Pogacar can weather the conditions successfully and avoid any major disaster, expect to see him sipping champagne as he rides down the Champs-Elysees this evening. Tadej Pogacar, 26, has emerged in recent years as the biggest force in men's cycling. Per Rouleur, Pogacar, a Ljubljana, Slovenia native, took up the sport at 9 years old, idolizing greats like Tour de France winners Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck. Pogacar started out with the Rog-Ljubljana cycling club, impressing in youth events -- including the 2018 Tour de l'Avenir, a race for cyclists between the ages of 17-22 that takes place on much of the same course as the Tour de France -- before moving on to his current team, UAE Team Emirates XRG in 2019. Overall, Pogacar has won 14 stage races, 24 one-day races and has been the top-ranked cyclist in the UCI World Rankings for four consecutive years. He also won the bronze medal in the men's road race at the Tokyo Summer Olympics. -- Jason Anderson USA TODAY Sports' Jason Anderson has more on star Tadej Pogacar.

Tour de France Stage 18 results: Tadej Pogacar holds off Jonas Vingegaard in French Alps
Tadej Pogačar didn't win the hardest stage of the 2025 Tour de France on Thursday, but the defending champion and this year's favorite showed again that there's likely nobody capable of taking the yellow jersey from him. Australian Ben O'Connor won Stage 18 of the Tour de France to vault into the top 10 of the overall standings as riders had to overcome 5,450 meters in climbs up three different summits, including the toughest one to the finish line at Courchevel Col de la Loze. But Pogačar's ability to maintain his sizable lead over chief rival Jonas Vingegaard is leaving little room for drama with just three stages remaining in this year's Tour de France. Vingegaard made several attacks throughout the day to try to shake loose of Pogačar, who he trailed by more than four minutes for the overall lead entering Stage 18. But the three-time Tour de France champion never allowed Vingegaard from his sight, and then left his chief rival behind once again in the final kilometer to take second place in the stage.

Giro d'Italia: stage 21 updates as race concludes in Rome
Update: Date: 2025-06-01T12:00:14.000Z Title: Preamble Content: It doesn't matter where Saturday's Stage 20 ranks in the pantheon of historic grand tour drama. Comparison being the thief of joy and all that. All we need worry about is that Simon Yates, of Team Visma–Lease A Bike, is about to win the Giro d'Italia after his astonishing climbing performance yesterday. All Yates needs to worry about, meanwhile, is crossing the finish line in one piece, in his shiny new maglia rosa, with his Visma-Lease A Bike teammates in tow. Yates has been on the road in this gruelling race for 79 hours, 18 minutes and 42 seconds. Personally I have watched a grand total of zero seconds of that time, so I'm coming to this distinctly freddo. Feel free to email me with a concise summary of what's happened up to this point, so I can subsquently pretend to know what I'm talking about. As for yesterday's excitement, you can read Tom Bassam's excellent report here: Stage 21 start time: 2pm BST
