Three-time champion Tadej Pogacar will spend Monday's rest day of the 2025 Tour de France savouring his feats in the Pyrenees of southern France that have helped him establish a four-minute lead over his arch rival and two-time victor Jonas Vingegaard.

By Julien Pretot MONTPELLIER, France (Reuters) -Tadej Pogacar is riding not just for the yellow jersey on the Tour de France, but also to bury the ghosts of the past. As the 2025 Tour de France heads into its final and most punishing mountain stages,

Tadej Pogacar turned in one of the great performances of his career during Stage 12 of the 2025 Tour de France. Here's a breakdown of the results.

The jersey spotted was a white away number 10 from the NFL’s modern Nike Era adorning the name of the reigning Tour de France Champion Tadej Pogacar. Sleeper Seahawks tweeted a photo of the broadcast early Friday morning which was reshared throughout the fanbase all over social media throughout the final day of the work week.

Ireland's Ben Healy, who retained the overall leader's yellow jersey, explained that he had a brief chat with two-time Tour champion Jonas Vingegaard, seen as Pogacar's main rival for the title, and both agreed they should wait for the Slovenian.

The battle for the Tour de France’s yellow jersey lasted 12 days, but really it lasted about five minutes. That’s how long Tadej Pogacar waited before attacking Jonas Vingegaard on the Hautacam, the first hors-categorie mountain of the Tour,

Pogacar was even better as soon as the road started to climb and he crossed the finish line at Peyragudes with a lead of 36 seconds over Vingegaard, his closest challenger. Primoz Roglic was third, 1 minute, 20 seconds off the pace.
