Tadej Pogacar has 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 25-year-old Slovenian rider became the first cyclist to secure the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France in the same year since the late Marco Pantani in 1998.
Two-time defending champion Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark was second overall.
He also finished the 21st and final stage in second place.
Pogacar won the 34-kilometer time trial on the French Riviera's roads from Monaco to Nice in 45 minutes, 24 seconds.
Vingegaard was 1 minute, 3 seconds behind him and Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel 1:14 back in third spot.
Riviera finish due to Paris Olympics
In the overall standings, Vingegaard finished 6:17 behind Pogacar and Evenepoel was third overall, 9:18 behind Pogacar – whose other Tour wins came in 2020 and 2021.
The race did not finish in Paris as it usually does because of the Olympic Games
The picturesque Riviera resort plays host to the Tour's final day rather than the traditional ride down the Champs-Elysées in Paris with the 2024 Olympic Games beginning in the French capital on Friday.
Having won five stages, Pogacar enjoyed a healthy five-minute 14-second lead over Jonas Vingegaard, who was winner of the past two editions.
