Road bike racing is a sport.

The event happened on Monday, July 27, 2026, at 6:27 am.

Tadej Pogačar is holding up five fingers to show he won five times.

Here is a short summary:

Tadej Pogačar won his fifth Tour de France title, finishing 6 minutes and 26 seconds ahead of others.

He is now one of the five-time winners with Eddy Merckx, Miguel Indurain, Jacques Anquetil, and Bernard Hinault.

What will happen next?

Pogačar will focus on the Spanish Vuelta on August 22, a race he has not won yet.

Tadej Pogačar is now known as one of the greatest cyclists after winning his fifth Tour de France title.

He won by being brave in the mountains, winning many stages, and staying calm. He joined other great cyclists who won five Tours.

Pogačar said, "I'm speechless. It's an amazing day with a great atmosphere."

He said, "I've ridden in seven Tours and always finished in the top three. This is like a dream for me."

After a strong final stage in Paris, Pogačar finished 6 minutes and 26 seconds ahead of Remco Evenepoel.

Jonas Vingegaard, a two-time champion, was Pogačar's main competitor, but he crashed out on the 15th stage.

Pogačar said, "It's sad that Jonas and others crashed out."

He said, "I hope we can all compete again next year."

Pogačar's teammate, Isaac Del Toro, came in third, 9 minutes and 42 seconds behind Pogačar.

Pogačar said, "I don't know how I do it. I need a new goal now."

Pogačar won the Giro d'Italia in 2024 but not the Spanish Vuelta, which starts on August 22.

He said, "Will I be at La Vuelta? Let's see."

Pogačar won five stages this year, making a total of 26 stage wins.

He tried to win the last stage but Mathieu van der Poel won, holding off the other riders.

The final stage was 88.7km long and went around Paris, with a tough climb in the Montmartre area.

The stage was shortened due to wildfires, and the starting point was changed to Paris.

The stage featured a popular uphill climb in Montmartre, which the riders did three times.

Pogačar couldn't match Van der Poel's power in the final stages.

Before the stage, Pogačar shook hands with Remco Evenepoel and Richard Carapaz.

Carapaz said, "I fought hard to win the polka-dot jersey. It's a great feeling."

Van der Poel and Mads Pedersen were expected to compete for the stage win.

The crowd cheered as the riders started the first climb in Montmartre.

Pogačar moved ahead after the second climb, with Van der Poel, Evenepoel, and Pedersen alongside him.

Van der Poel attacked on the last climb, and Pogačar responded well.

But they were caught, and Van der Poel still had to work hard to win.

Van der Poel said, "I thought the sprinters would catch us, so I started my attack from far away."

He said, "I gave everything I had, and it was just enough."

This is the ABC of sports.
