Tadej Pogacar exited the final mountain climbs with his lead over Jonas Vingegaard intact and now stands on the threshold of achieving a fourth Tour de France triumph in six seasons.
With the threat of neutralisation due to rain now hanging over the final stage in Paris on Sunday, routed over the cobbled climbs of the Butte Montmartre, the weary Pogacar may be almost home and dry. He leads his long-standing rival Vingegaard by almost four and a half minutes and barring any last day mishaps, the Slovenian’s fourth yellow jersey seems assured.
