2025 Tour de France standings going into final stage, with Tadej Pogačar set to win 2nd consecutive trophy
The 2025 Tour de France is set to complete its final stage on Sunday (July 27) and Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar is poised to win the race for the second consecutive year. Going into Sunday's Stage 21, Pogačar has a lead of 4 minutes, 24 seconds over Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard, who won the 2022 and 2023 races. Australian rider Kaden Groves won Stage 20, but is not among the top 10 cyclists in the standings as the race advances to its final stage. The final stage is a 132.3km ride from Mantes-la-Jolie to Paris, cycling up the Butte Montmartre three times before the final laps of the race on the famed Champs-Elysees. Here is how the overall standings line up after Stage 20 was completed: Tadej Pogačar, Slovenia: 69 hours, 41 minutes, 46 seconds Jonas Vingegaard, Denmark: 69:46.10 (4 minutes, 24 seconds behind) Florian Lipowitz, Germany: 69:52.55 (11 minutes, 9 seconds behind) Oscar Onley, Great Britain: 69:53.58 (12 minutes, 12 seconds behind) Felix Gall, Austria: 69:58.58 (17 minutes, 12 seconds behind) Tobias Johannessen, Norway: 70:02.00 (20 minutes, 14 seconds behind) Kevin Vauquelin, France: 70:04.21 (22 minutes, 35 seconds behind) Primoz Roglic, Slovenia: 70:07.16 (25 minutes, 30 seconds behind) Ben Healy, Ireland: 70:09.48 (28 minutes, 2 seconds behind) Ben O'Connor, Australia: 70:16.20 (34 minutes, 34 seconds behind) A victory for Pogačar would be his fourth Tour de France win. He also won consecutive Coupe Omnisports trophies in 2020 and 2021, prior to Vingegaard's two straight wins. Last year's Tour de France victory made him only the third male cyclist in history to win the Triple Crown of Cycling, also finishing first in the Girl and the World Championsips during the same year.

I've shown them: Groves completes grand set of wins
Australia's Kaden Groves has completed his set of grand tour stage wins after traversing the slippery roads to triumph on the penultimate day of the Tour de France. His late solo breakaway left the big two of Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard trailing in the pouring rain of northern France. The Alpecin-Deceuninck rider surged ahead 16 kilometres from home and held on for his first Tour stage win and 10th at major races. The 26-year-old from the Sunshine Coast has claimed two at the Giro d'Italia and seven at the Spanish Vuelta. 🏆 🇦🇺 Kaden Groves wins in Pontarlier! 🏆 🇦🇺 Kaden Groves s'impose à Pontarlier !#TDF2025 | @Continental_fr — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 26, 2025 His bike-handling skills in the wet were to the fore as he negotiated a sodden descent 21km from the finish while two other rivals skidded out of control. He finished 54 seconds ahead of Frank van den Broek and 59 clear of Pascal Eenkhoorn, bursting into tears as he crossed the finish line in Pontarlier. He said: "There's so much pressure at the Tour, and having won in the Giro, having won in the Vuelta, all I ever get asked is am I good enough to win in the Tour? And now I show them. "It's my first time winning, so it's pretty incredible." Earlier in the stage, another Australian, Harrison Sweeny, had made his mark. When the front group tackled the 3.6km Côte de Thésy, Frenchman Jordan Jegat launched a solo attack, but he was then overtaken by Sweeny. As rain fell heavily again after 40km, Sweeny opened up a 50-second lead, only to be quickly reeled in. Aside from the Australian cameos, Pogačar kept things safe to maintain his healthy lead over arch-rival Vingegard and set the stage for a triumphant finale into Paris on Sunday. The Slovenian ace has a 4 minutes 24 seconds advantage over two-time Tour winner Vingegaard with Germany's Florian Lipowitz 11:03 behind Pogačar in third overall. Barring a dramatic misadventure, Pogačar should complete the job on Sunday and move level with British rider Chris Froome on four Tour titles. Victory would also give Pogačar a fifth Grand Tour after winning the Giro d'Italia in dominant fashion last year. However, Sunday's final stage is not a processional one, as is usually the case, and could potentially prove troublesome toward the end with three consecutive climbs. Saturday's 184.2km route from Nantua through eastern France featured three small climbs and a moderately difficult one up Côte de Thésy. The wet roads were treacherous at high speeds, with France's Romain Grégoire and Spaniard Iván Romeo both crashing as they attempted to navigate tight turns. Both were able to continue. The final stage is a 132.3km ride from Mantes-la-Jolie to Paris, where the peloton will cycle up the famous Butte Montmartre three times before the final laps on the Champs-Elysees. With agencies

Tadej Pogačar closes in on fourth Tour de France title, as Kaden Groves wins penultimate stage
PONTARLIER, France (AP) — Tadej Pogačar closed in on a fourth Tour de France title after safely finishing Saturday's penultimate stage and maintaining his big lead over arch-rival Jonas Vingegaard. Australian rider Kaden Groves won stage 20 with a late solo breakaway, while Pogačar rolled over the line about seven minutes later in the same time as Vingegaard. The Slovenian cycling star leads the two-time Tour winner Vingegaard by 4 minutes, 24 seconds, with German rider Florian Lipowitz 11:03 behind Pogačar in third overall. Barring a heavy crash or illness, Pogačar was expected to celebrate Sunday and move level with British rider Chris Froome on four Tour titles. Victory would also give Pogačar a fifth Grand Tour after winning the Giro d'Italia in dominant fashion last year. However, Sunday's final stage of this edition is not a largely processional one, as is usually the case, and could potentially prove somewhat problematic toward the end with three consecutive climbs. Saturday's stage The 184.2-kilometer route through eastern France featured three small climbs and a moderately difficult one up Côte de Thésy before finishing in Pontarlier. But there was scant opportunity for Vinegaard to attack Pogačar. As the riders set off Saturday in driving rain, the yellow jersey group stayed safely at the front until breakaways formed. When the front group tackled the 3.6-kilometer Côte de Thésy, Frenchman Jordan Jegat launched a solo attack, but he was then overtaken by Australian rider Harrison Sweeny. As rain fell heavily again with 40 kilometers, Sweeny opened up a 50-second lead, only to be reeled in shortly after. The wet roads were treacherous at high speeds. Frenchman Romain Grégoire and Spaniard Iván Romeo crashed taking a sharp turn and slid sideways off their bikes. Both continued. Groves surged ahead 16 kilometers out and held on for his first Tour stage win and 10th at major races. The 26-year-old has two at the Giro d'Italia and seven at the Spanish Vuelta. Groves was 54 seconds ahead of Frank van den Broek and 59 clear of Pascal Eenkhoorn. Why is Sunday's stage different? The final stage of the Tour de France is traditionally a largely processional one, with the overall leader all-but-guaranteed to win — barring mishap — and only the sprinters contesting the stage win right at the end, following several laps around Paris. But this year's last stage is very different and could prove spectacular. Breaking with decades of tradition, it features three ascents of Montmartre Hill, a short and sharp climb which featured at last year's Paris Olympics. Some riders have expressed concern that the sinewy, cobbled Rue Lepic climb, lined with heaving fans either side at extremely close proximity, may be problematic. The final climb up Rue Lepic comes less than 7 kilometers from the end, before the riders finish on the Champs-Elysées. Around 3,000 police officers will be deployed to ensure security over the 132.3-kilometer route, which starts from the outskirts of Paris at Mantes-la-Ville before heading into the city.
