Tour de France: Pogacar shines as a team player; Evenepoel and Del Toro on the final podium

Rome, 25 July (LaPresse) – After winning the ninth stage at Alpe d’Huez, where he also broke Marco Pantani’s time record, Tadej Pogacar rounded off his Tour de France in style, even acting as a domestique for his Toro team-mate, thereby enabling him to finish third in the general classification behind Remco Evenepoel. In the general classification at the end of the Grande Boucle – which will formally conclude tomorrow with the parade down the Champs-Élysées in Paris – Pogacar leads by a massive 06′ 26’“ over the Belgian rider and by 09” 42” over his UAE Team Toro team-mate.
