Overview
- Pogacar secured his fifth overall Tour title on Sunday by safely completing the shortened final stage and finished 6 minutes 26 seconds ahead of Remco Evenepoel in the general classification.
- Organisers cut the planned 133km Stage 21 to about 89km after wildfires in southwest France required the Interior Ministry and Paris police to redeploy security and emergency personnel.
- Mathieu van der Poel won the revised final stage in Paris, while Richard Carapaz took Stage 20 on Alpe d'Huez and clinched the King of the Mountains polka‑dot jersey.
- Stage 20 featured dramatic incidents that shaped the podium: Sepp Kuss crashed twice in the closing kilometres and was saved from a serious fall by roadside netting, and Jonas Vingegaard abandoned the race earlier after a Stage 15 crash.
- Isaac Del Toro finished third overall and won the young‑rider white jersey, Pogacar extended his Tour records with five stage wins and 26 career stage victories, and his fifth title cements his status among the sport's all‑time leaders.
