Tour De France 2025: Pogacar Secures 100th Professional Victory

Defending champion Tadej Pogačar secured the 100th professional victory of his stellar career in typically flamboyant style, beating Mathieu Van der Poel in a dash to the line to win the hilly fourth stage of the Tour de France on Tuesday. Van der Poel was the better sprinter of the two at the end of Sunday’s second stage and looked set to clinch a second win in this year’s race when he attacked about 200 meters from out and led. But the defending Tour champion somehow found another gear to surge past him at the line, then pumped his fists in celebration.
