The man in yellow: Youngest two time Tour de France winner
The Tour de France winner is proudly repping the leader’s yellow jersey in Paris today
Tadej Pogačar of Slovenia has now claimed two Tour de France victories.
It was a gruelling three-week ride, but Pogačar made it seem easy.
The UAE Team Emirates leader successfully defended his huge lead of 5 minutes, 20 seconds.
He won over the final stage to the Champs-Élysées by beating Jonas Vingegaard, who came second. Richard Carapaz finished third overall, 7:03 off the pace.
“I’m gonna speak from the heart,” said Pogačar on the final podium.
“Thank you to everybody who came along during the three weeks. It was amazing to be riding along the route.”
Last year, the 22 year old became the youngest winner of the Tour in 116 years.
He is now the youngest double winner of the race.
Pogacar also won the awards for best rider under-25 and the king of the mountains polka-dot jersey, a triple he also achieved on his debut last year.
Australia’s Ben O’Connor finished fourth overall on his Tour debut.
Only three other Australians — Phil Anderson, 2011 winner Cadel Evans, and Richie Porte — have ever finished in the top five.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.
Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.
The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.
Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
