Four Things You Should Know About Tour de France Champ Tadej Pogačar

The second-youngest champ remembers watching Contador and Schleck in 2009 and ’10 on television before he was a teenager.

cycling fra tdf2020 stage21

Slovenian Tadej Pogačar, the unexpected winner of the 2020 Tour de France, sealed his victory when he won a dramatic Stage 20 time trial.

He then climbed to the top step of the podium as the champion in Paris on Sunday—the eve of his 22nd birthday. Countryman Primož Roglič finished second, losing the yellow jersey in the Stage 20 time trial, and Richie Porte took third.

Here are some of the elements that led to the 21-year-old’s success in the 2020 Tour:

Lifetime passion

“I started watching the Tour de France back in 2009 or 2010, following Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck, spending all day in front of television and then going riding myself,” the Ljubljana native said on Saturday, after pulling off one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the history of cycling’s most famous event.

Youngest winner in more than a century

Track record.

Pogačar only joined the elite level of cycling last year and was thrown in at the deep end when UAE Emirates decided he could race a Grand Tour, the Vuelta a España. He won three stages on the Vuelta and ended an impressive third place behind Roglič and Alejandro Valverde. As with the Tour de France in 2020, he won three stages in Spain and took the best overall young rider's jersey.

Previous time-trial win over Roglic

Pogačar's staggering win over his compatriot Roglič on stage 20 of the Tour was not a complete surprise. Earlier in the season the Slovenian national time-trial championships were raced over a similar course, with the climb first and the rolling section afterwards however. Pogačar changed bikes while Roglič did not, with the younger man taking victory over the much shorter course by a slender nine seconds at the finish line.

Tadej Pogacar seals Tour de France triumph as Bennett wins final stage

  • Irish green jersey winner wins final stage in a sprint
  • Pogacar becomes Tour’s youngest winner since 1904

While Tadej Pogacar enjoyed the processional element of the Tour de France’s conclusion in the yellow jersey, Sam Bennett, of the Deceuninck–Quick-Step team, won the final stage here, outsprinting the world road race champion, Mads Pedersen on the cobbles of the Champs Élysées.

The Irishman’s stage win, his second of the 2020 Tour, confirmed his victory in the points classification. “I can’t tell you how excited I am – the green jersey, on the Champs Élysées,” he said. “I never thought I’d ever be able to win this stage, the sprinters’ world championships, and to do it in green, it’s just so amazing.”

He said of the sprint: “We waited, and then in the last corner, I let the others go first because there was a bit of a headwind. I opened up and thought maybe somebody would come past me, so I can’t believe I got it.”

Bennett’s success has been hard fought for after he scrapped his way through the climbs of the Pyrenees, Massif Central and Jura and, in the final week, the Alps, clinging on to the green jersey until Peter Sagan, the seven-times points winner, finally accepted second place.

“All the suffering in the mountains is so rewarded now,” Bennett said. “It took me so long to get here, I’m just going to enjoy every moment of it.

“I was feeling the legs a bit and I was a little bit nervous about riding in the front because it’s so fast downhill and somebody crashed last time I was here.”

Mauro Gianetti, the general manager of Pogacar’s UAE Emirates team, said he had always believed his 21-year-old rider could win the yellow jersey. “We believed it was possible from the first stage, but then we lost 1min 20 one day. Tadej was the calmest of the team. He said: ‘No, don’t worry, I will attack. The Tour’s long and we will gain the time back.’”

Gianetti added: “Even yesterday before the time trial, he was very concentrated and he had a vision it was possible. He gave so much of himself, it was fantastic.

“Our goal before the Tour was a stage win and Tadej to be in the top five. We won the first stage, which made us more relaxed, and day by day, we understood that Tadej was at the level to be on the podium. Then, Saturday, he had an incredibly good day and Roglic had a not-so-good day.”

For the hosts, a Tour that started off brimming with promise, with Thibaut Pinot expected to challenge and Julian Alaphilippe claiming the yellow jersey, gradually dissolved into disappointment. Pinot, the Groupama-FDJ leader, who crashed on day one in Nice, was hampered by a back injury, while Alaphilippe’s explosiveness, so apparent on his stage-two victory, evaporated as the race wore on.

Pinot can take heart from the example of the long-suffering Richie Porte, who, in the autumn of a chequered career, achieved his best result. Success in the Tour – unless you are Pogacar – is often a marathon, not a sprint, as evidenced by the Australian’s third overall.

“It’s been a funny old race for me through the years, with so many disasters,” said Porte, now 35 and rejoining Dave Brailsford’s Inoes Grenadiers next year. “I almost had a couple here, but the team’s been incredible. I came here with my wife’s blessing and missed the birth of my second child.”

Porte said of his third place: “I’ll have the photo on the wall when I retire so I’m absolutely humbled. There have been so many years of hard toil but I’m just so happy. It’s probably the last Tour I do as a general classification rider, so to be third feels like a win.”

Tour de France 2020: The Essential Guide

Analysis of the route, contenders and storylines, plus all the other details you need to know

tours de france 2020

The world has changed dramatically since the route of the 2020 Tour de France was unveiled last October. The 3,470-kilometre route remains the same, but the global COVID-19 pandemic means that it will be a Tour de France like no other.

The race dates have changed from July to late August/September , and the riders' preparation and teams' selections have changed, leaving everyone fresh, on form and hungrier then ever to win during the short but intense rescheduled season. Everyone on the race will have to respect strict medical protocols to limit the risk of the COVID-19 virus emerging in the peloton and possibly stopping the whole race, but there is a real sense that the riders will race as if there's no tomorrow.

The number of COVID-19 cases in France has grown enormously in recent weeks, and could keep increasing over the next few weeks as the Tour de France rolls through the country, but organisers ASO, governing body the UCI, the French government and even the sponsor-dependent teams and riders seem convinced that the show must go on. It is ultimately their risk. If the race manages to reach Paris with a limited number of cases in the 'race bubble', the sport will have pulled off a high-stakes, calculated gamble. If something happens along the route and the race has to be cancelled, the damage to the sport could be irreparable.

The riders and teams will gather in Nice from Wednesday for the Grand Départ and undergo a final COVID-19 test. The start list is the strongest seen for years. Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas were not selected for Team Ineos , but that has only strengthened and united the South-American-rider-heavy squad created around 2019 winner Egan Bernal .

It will be fascinating to see 23-year-old Bernal battle with Jumbo-Visma duo Primoz Roglic and Tom Dumoulin . Victory could see the Colombian really begin a new era of team leadership at Ineos and a run at multiple Tour victories, while failing to defend his title could perhaps mark the start of the decline of Dave Brailsford's super team. The stakes are high.

A mountainous route

With a desire, and perhaps a design, to break Team Ineos' grip on the Tour de France, ASO have come up with an unconventional and mountainous route with just a 36km time trial on the penultimate stage up to La Planche des Belles Filles, no team time trial and a number of stages that seem to offer opportunities to attack and limit any sense of control.

La Planche des Belles Filles is close to Groupama-FDJ leader Thibaut Pinot's home in the Vosges mountains, and so could finally inspire a moment of French cycling glory before a final coronation in Paris – or another year of defeat and regret. Either way, there is likely to be emotions on show from Pinot's team manager Marc Madiot.  Allez les gars!

The 21 stages of the 2020 route visit all five of France's mountain ranges and include 29 categorised climbs and five summit finishes. The COVID-19 protocols mean that crowds will be stopped from filling the roadside in the mountains, but the Alps, Pyrenees, Massif Central, Jura and Vosges will again reveal who is the strongest in the race.

2020 Tour de France rescheduled for August 29-September 20 Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas dropped from Ineos Tour de France team Kruijswijk out of Jumbo-Visma Tour de France team with fractured shoulder Roglic remains optimistic about Tour de France participation

There are no iconic ascents such as Alpe d'Huez or Mount Ventoux, but there are more minor climbs and testing finishes, forcing the overall contenders and teams to stay vigilant for the entire race.

This year's Tour de France offers the sprinters a chance to fight for the first yellow leader's jersey on Saturday on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, but they will then have to fight for every other opportunity along the route, perhaps in Privas, Lavaur and Poitiers, and then, of course, on the final stage on the Champs-Elysées in Paris.

The first mountain finish comes as soon as stage 4 to Orcières-Merlette, with another testing finale on stage 6 to Mont Aigoual. Sadly, the two stages in the Pyrenees seem suited to breakaways, but cannot be taken lightly. The risk of crosswinds along the Atlantic coast on stage 10 to Ile de Ré will mean a restless first rest day, with the haul across the Massif Central also offering chances to attack.

The decisive mountain stages will be in the Alps, starting with stage 15 to the Grand Colombier. With two other climbs in the final 70km of the stage, and then the 17.4km haul to the  hors-catégorie  finish, the Grand Colombier will give a real indication of how the next five stages will unfold.

Stage 17 to Méribel is without doubt the 'queen stage' of the 2020 Tour de France, with the 2,304-metre-high finish also awarding the Henri Desgrange prize as the highest point of the race.

The Col de la Loze that leads up to and beyond the ski resort is a new addition to the race, and has only recently been surfaced. It’s long, at 21.5km, with an average gradient of 7.8 per cent. The first 17 kilometres climb steadily up to Méribel, while it is the final four kilometres, above 2,000m altitude, that will really hurt, with some sections even at 20 per cent on a narrow, straight strip up the mountainside.

Stage 18 has lower peaks but more climbing, with the beautiful Cormet de Roselend, the Col des Saisies and Col des Aravis before the Plateau de Glières. It is a perfect stage for long-range attacks, and the worst stage to have a bad day.

Depending on the time gaps after all the mountains, the 36.2km stage 20 time trial to La Planche des Belles Filles offers a final chance to shake up the general classification and perhaps snatch or lose the yellow jersey. It could be a perfect platform for Roglic or Dumoulin to overhaul Bernal or Pinot, or to see a totally unexpected rider emerge for the victory parade into Paris.

Team Ineos 'v' Jumbo-Visma not the only bout on fight card

The testing, nerve-racking route of this year's Tour de France, and all the COVID-19 complications, have influenced team selections more than ever, and will make predicting the outcome of each stage harder then ever. Time gaps amongst the top 10 are expected to be measured in minutes rather than seconds.

The 22 eight-rider squads include virtually all the best Grand Tour riders in the peloton, other than Froome and Thomas, with otherwise only Vincenzo Nibali (Trek-Segafredo) and Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) absent as they focus on the Giro d'Italia.

The first, most simple story line of the race, is the battle between Team Ineos and Jumbo-Visma. It could spark one of the biggest team battles ever seen in modern cycling as the Dutch 'killer wasps' take on the soulless 'built-for-purpose' SUV that the Team Ineos outfit has become after a decade of success in their former guise as Team Sky.

Tom Dumoulin and Primoz Roglic – pictured at the Critérium du Dauphiné – will combine for Jumbo-Visma in an attempt to derail the powerful Team Ineos train at the 2020 Tour de France

However, even before the start in Nice, the script has already changed and will surely change again in the next three weeks. The idea of three leaders combining from each team for an almighty battle has been thrown out of the window: Steven Kruijswijk is out of the Jumbo-Visma team after fracturing his shoulder, while Team Ineos opted to go all-in with Egan Bernal and select dedicated support riders instead of taking Thomas and Froome.

It means that Bernal is the only previous race winner in the 2020 Tour de France, and will have to count on Richard Carapaz, Andrey Amador and Pavel Sivakov to help him take on Roglic and Dumoulin.

Of course, Ineos versus Jumbo-Visma will not be the only bout on the fight card. Pinot left the Tour injured and in tears last year, but vowed to return. He blew his chances at the Critérium du Dauphiné, but is clearly on form, and could best placed to take advantage if Ineos and Jumbo-Visma focus on each other too much and allow their rivals to gain time.

All of France would love to see Deceuninck-QuickStep's Julian Alaphilippe repeat his exploits of 2019 and spend even more time in the yellow jersey. He seems to lack the swagger of last year, however, and reiterated he is only targeting stage victories, but could be an early race leader if he wins stage 2 to Nice or the first mountain finish at Orcières-Merlette on stage 4.

Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale) has also promised to target stage victories after giving up on his Giro d'Italia ambitions, while Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) seems ready to join the highest French echelon and become a top-five contender. France has never had a better chance to end their 35-year draught.

Nairo Quintana has become an honorary Frenchman after his move to Arkéa-Samsic, and could help a French team win again. The 30-year-old Colombian climber was on fire before the lockdown, seemingly rediscovering the motivation and determination that was so obviously lacking in his final years at Movistar. Quintana has yet to find the same form after the lockdown, but this year's race route suits him better than ever before and offers him a real chance of overall victory.

If you prefer an underdog and outsider for a podium spot, there are plenty. Starting with Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-Hansgrohe), the ever-unpredictable, but always likeable, Mikel Landa (Bahrain McLaren), Critérium du Dauphiné winner Dani Martinez and his EF Pro Cycling teammates Rigoberto Uran and Sergio Higuita, Tour debutant Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and even Bernal's Ineos understudy Pavel Sivakov.

Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) is chasing his eighth green points jersey and will take on Caleb Ewan (Lotto Soudal), Sam Bennett (Deceuninck-QuickStep), Elia Viviani (Cofidis) and new Italian national champion Giacomo Nizzolo (NTT Pro Cycling) in the sprint finishes.

Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Benoît Cosnefroy (AG2R La Mondiale), David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), Lotto Soudal's Philippe Gilbert, Dan Martin (Israel Start-Up Nation) and Lilian Calmejane (Total Direct Energie) are also all likely to be in the thick of the action at this year's Tour de France.

So, buckle up – it's going to be one hell of a race.

TOUR DE FRANCE 2020 JERSEYS

tours de france 2020

Worn by the leader of the general classification, so the rider with the lowest net time. The maillot jaune is awarded to the overall race leader after each stage and the rider who takes it to Paris is crowned Tour de France champion. It's yellow because the newspaper that ran the race, L'Auto, was printed on yellow paper.

The classification is based on the time taken to complete the whole course, but there are bonus seconds on offer to encourage attacking racing. Bonuses of 10, 6, 4 seconds are awarded on the finish line to the top three riders on each stage, excluding time trials. Like last year, there will also be bonus seconds on offer on the top of certain climbs. 

All riders must finish within the time limit - a certain percentage (ranging from 3 to 20 per cent depending on the stage and average speed) of the stage winner's time each day in order to continue in the race. This is a perennial problem for sprinters when it comes to the high mountains.

Worn by the leader of the points classification. Points are awarded at stage finishes and intermediate sprints (one per road stage), and while the sprinters are the main candidates, it's the more versatile among them - the ones who can compete on a variety of terrain and also get into breakaways - who have the best chance. Peter Sagan is one such rider and has won green in seven of the past eight Tours - that's every one he's finished.

Points are awarded to the first 15 riders at stage finishes or intermediate sprints, with different allocations depending on the nature of the stage.

  • Stages 1, 5, 7, 10, 11, 19, 21 (flat): 50-30-20-18-16-14-12-10-8-7-6-5-4-3-2 
  • Stages 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 14, 16 (rolling/medium mountain): 30-25-22-19-17-15-13-11-9-7-6-5-4-3-2
  • Stages 8, 9, 13, 15, 17, 18, 20: (high mountain and ITT): 20-17-15-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1
  • Intermediate sprints (one per road stage): 20-17-15-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Worn by the leader of the mountains classification, or the 'king of the mountains'. Mountains points are on offer at the top of every classified climb, ranging from the hardest - 'hors catégorie' to the easiest - category 4.

  • Hors catégorie: 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-2
  • Category 1: 10-8-6-4-2-1
  • Category 2: 5-3-2-1
  • Category 3: 2-1
  • Category 4: 1

Worn by the the leader of the youth classification. A 'young rider' is anyone who was born after January 1, 1995, so anyone under 25 or who turned 25 in 2020. The jersey goes to the best placed on general classification.

Red dossard

Not a jersey but a special red number badge for the rider deemed, subjectively, the ‘most combative’ the previous day - usually the rider most active in the breakaway. At the end of the Tour, the super combatif prize is awarded to the most aggressive rider of the whole race, based on a combination of panel and public vote. 

Yellow dossard

Worn by members of the team leading the teams classification. This is calculated by adding together the times of each team's three best riders on every stage.

'  src=

Stage Report: The last stage of the 2020 Tour de France in Paris went to the Irishman in the green jersey, Sam Bennett (Deceuninck – Quick-Step). But the day was always going to be Slovenian as Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) confirmed his overall win.

Stage 21 Route: Tour director, Christian Prudhomme describes the stage: “Emotions run high on the final stage of the Tour. Light hearted in the first part of the race when time has come to celebrate and congratulate one another with sometimes a sip of champagne. Then comes the pleasure of re-discovering every year the Île-de-France area and Paris of course. Finally there are the shivers, the flower bouquet on the Champs-Ẻlysées indeed remains one of the most coveted on the sprinting planet. Unless…”

Sam Bennett won the last stage of the Tour de France. In a bunch sprint on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, he was the first to cross the line. Yellow jersey Tadej Pogačar crossed the finish line without any problems and wrote history in several ways with his overall victory.

The last stage traditionally started with the photo shots, congratulations and jokes. With yellow jersey wearer Tadej Pogačar and his five remaining UAE Emirates team-mates at the front of the peloton to set course for Paris. Via the iconic square near the Louvre, the riders reached the local circuit on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, where eight laps awaited the riders.

The attacks started as soon as the peloton hit the circuit. Jens Keukeleire was the first man in action. Forty kilometres before the finish, a group of four escaped: Greg Van Avermaet (CCC) with Maximilian Schachmann (BORA-hansgrohe), Connor Swift (Arkéa-Samsic) and Pierre-Luc Périchon (Cofidis). They took a lead of 20 seconds.

Deceuninck – Quick-Step put themselves at the head of the peloton in the service of green jersey Sam Bennett, who took some points in the intermediate sprint and secured his victory in the points classification. Bryan Coquard’s B&B Hotels-Vital Concept also joined in with some work. The four escapees held out for a long time.

In the penultimate lap through the heart of Paris, where only 5,000 spectators were welcome due to the “code red” for the capital, the difference kept fluctuating around 15 seconds. Jumbo-Visma decided to take the lead for Wout van Aert, while NTT Pro Cycling came forward.

Swift lost contact with Van Avermaet, Schachmann and Périchon 7 kilometres from the finish. Those three went into the final lap with a lead of 13 seconds, but the attempt was doomed to fail. Schachmann was the last attacker to be caught, 3.5 kilometres from the finish line, after which the sprinter teams put their trains on the front.

peloton champs

Sunweb, Trek-Segafredo, Deceuninck – Quick-Step and Lotto Soudal led their sprinters to the front, and it was Sam Bennett who got the best lead-out. The green jersey managed to take his second stage victory of this Tour de France. World champion Mads Pedersen, who will probably lose his title next week, was in second, Peter Sagan third.

The top riders on GC had no problems on the Champs-Élysées. Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) becomes the first Slovenian ever to take the overall victory in the Tour de France. The 21-year-old Pogačar, Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) and Richie Porte (Trek-Segafredo) took their places on the final podium.

Sam Bennett (Deceuninck – Quick-Step) broke the reign of Peter Sagan as winner of the points classification, and the Irishman took home the green jersey. The mountains classification and the young rider classification also belonged to Pogačar. Marc Hirschi (Sunweb) was rewarded for his Super Fighting Spirit, while Movistar won the team classification.

Stage and green jersey winner, Sam Bennett (Deceuninck – Quick-Step): “I can’t tell you how I feel, standing here as a winner with the green jersey on the Champs-Elysées. This is the world championship of the sprinters. I never thought I’d win this stage, so to win it in the green jersey, it’s fantastic! I’m part of a dream team. It’s just such an amazing feeling. The suffering in the mountains was worth it. It took me so long to get here, I’m going to enjoy every moment of this victory. It was a really fast and technical finale. I’ve been nervous when we went back to the front. Then the boys destroyed the race, they were first after the tunnel and I thought it was too early. Trek came but we had each side covered. There was a bit of a head wind, we let them go first, then I opened up. Stuyven came to the front for Pedersen. I thought somebody would pass me. I can’t believe I’ve won it.”

bennett

Overall winner, KOM and Best Young Rider, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates): “It’s unbelievable. It’s really crazy to be the winner of the Tour de France. Even if I’d come second or further in the ranking, it would still be nice to be here. This is just the top of the top. I can’t describe it with words. Today was a very special day with my team-mates. Finally I had some time to talk with them on the bike. The other days, it was just racing full gas. I think every rider from the peloton congratulated me today. This sport is amazing!”
