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.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
