Two-time Tour champion Jonas Vinegaard finished the overall race 4 minutes, 24 seconds behind Pogacar in second place and Florian Lipowitz was 11 minutes adrift in third. Belgian rider Wout van Aert won the 21st and last stage, which broke with tradition and featured three climbs of Montmartre hill. Because of the risk of heavy rain and crashes, organizers had earlier decided to neutralize the times 50 kilometres from the end, effectively giving Pogacar the victory — but providing he crossed the finish line. Pogacar had no need to contest the stage win, especially given the danger of crashing on slick roads. Yet as the rain fell heavily, he showed his relentless thirst for victory and attacked anyway, setting a tremendous pace in the Montmartre climbs as fans cheered. Only five riders were left with Pogacar on the third ascension of the 1.1-kilometre Montmartre hill. After fending off American Matteo Jorgenson, he was caught cold near the top as Van Aert launched a stunning attack to drop _ yes, drop! — Pogacar, the world's best climber, on the steepest section. Van Aert rolled back down for a prestigious stage win. Pogacar looked weary as he crossed the line in fourth place, 19 seconds behind. But then it was time to celebrate title No. 4.
