Pogačar dislikes clubs, will go for a sixth and seventh win (VIDEO)

Tadej Pogačar has once again conquered the Tour de France, clinching his fifth career victory in the prestigious cycling race. The 113th edition concluded with Pogačar crossing the finish line in Paris, donning the yellow jersey for a record-extending fifth time.

Cycling commentators Nejc Grilc and Miha Hočevar lauded Pogačar's exceptional performance throughout the race. They highlighted his "inhuman" effort on the Alpe d'Huez climb during the 19th stage, where he reportedly sustained an extraordinary power output for an extended period. Hočevar noted that Pogačar's ability to maintain such a high level of performance, even when supporting teammate Isaac del Toro, sets him apart from previous champions who were often more individualistic.

Grilc and Hočevar also analyzed Pogačar's competitors, acknowledging Remco Evenepoel's strong showing and Jonas Vingegaard's somewhat disappointing performance. Looking ahead, Pogačar's future ambitions include targeting further records, with the possibility of winning a sixth and seventh Tour de France mentioned as potential goals. The commentators also pointed to Peter Sagan's record of three consecutive world championship titles as a benchmark for Pogačar's upcoming challenges, including the World Championships in the fall.

Pogačar's dominance is evident not only in his individual wins but also in his team-oriented approach. Hočevar observed that Pogačar seemed genuinely happier assisting del Toro than winning stages himself, a trait that underscores his unique character as a "great champion."
