Tadej Pogačar currently holds a substantial lead over Remco Evenepoel, with a gap of 6:26 minutes. Isaac Del Toro trails significantly, positioned 9:42 minutes behind, although he has managed to extend his lead over the fourth-ranked Paul Seixas by 2:14 minutes. Pogačar is set to secure his fifth overall victory, joining an elite group of cyclists atop the historical records, which includes Jacques Anquetil, Bernard Hinault, Eddy Merckx, and Miguel Indurain.
The 113th edition of the Tour de France is anticipated to conclude with two Slovenian riders, Jan Tratnik and Matej Mohorič. Mohorič is noted for his suitability for the final stage, having placed third in the previous year’s race. Due to prevailing circumstances, the final day’s competition will take place on a modified and shortened route.
This adjustment is necessary because most emergency personnel and security forces have been redirected to areas in France affected by significant fires. Consequently, the traditional route into the French capital will not be feasible for the riders. The race will proceed under these altered conditions.
