Pogacar, 25, is the first cyclist to win the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France in the same year since 1998.Tadej Pogacar won the Tour de France for the third time and celebrated in style with a victory in Sunday's final stage — a time trial ending in Nice.
The race did not finish in Paris as it usually does because of the Olympic Games.
