The Slovenian Tadi Bogatchhar won the France Bicycle race for the fourth time in his career after he finished the last stage in Salam, which was won by the Belgian Van Val Art on Sunday.
Bugaturiz strengthened his position, the most dominant contestant in his generation, to equal the number of British Chris From in winning this title four times.
The 26 -year -old Slovenian contestant, who previously won the title in 2020, 2021 and 2024, performed an ideal performance over a period of three weeks, surpassing in all aspects that he was so close to winning the amazing last stage in the Champs -Elysées after a fierce competition with the Belgian Van Art.
Bugatchhar attacked unabated in the stages of ascending in Tel Monmartre, but he finally suffered from Van Art’s uprising, who won the 21st stage.
Earlier today, the organizers decided to freeze times about 50 kilometers before the end due to the dangerous road conditions.
But this did not prevent Bugattasher from trying and resolving the top of the overall ranking in the end, although Van Art proved his worth today, beating the Italian Davidi Balriini and third -placed Matte Mohhoric. Bugatchcash ranked fourth in the last stage.
“Words are unable to describe my feelings after winning for the fourth time in the France race,” said Bogatshar, who came second in 2022 and 2023. Six years in a row on the coronation platform, but this version is very distinctive and I am very proud to wear the yellow shirt. ”
The world champion had a victory in the race before his superiority in the Brans Mountains through a brutal attack in the stages of ascending and his overwhelming victory in the individual race against the watch, leaving his main rival Young Vingard more than four minutes late before controlling the race.
German Florian Leipovts finished the race in third place in his first participation in the France race, and won the white shirt for the best under the 25 -year -old.
“This was one of the most difficult copies of the France race in which I have ever participated,” Bogatchasher added.
Although the stage decreased due to the seriousness of the path, the conflict intensified to win it.
Bogachshar, the number of the winner of the title in the years 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017, was fad to delay one title for myths Eddie Mercury, Bernard Ino, Jack Anottle, and Miguel Endorain who share the record with five titles.
Bugaturn also got the dotted shirt of mountain classification, confirming his comprehensive hegemony.
For Inos Greenaders, the former dominant team with Bradley Wigs, Feroom and Jeeran Thomas, there was not much to celebrate him except for two wins in two phases.
As the traditions require, the contestants entered Paris in a festive atmosphere, but the end was not routine at all, as it was the Monmarter stage that inflamed the enthusiasm of the masses.
Only twenty -six years old, Bugaturing turned the France’s race into a private kingdom, leaving a covenant that reminds us of Eddie Mercash and Lance Armstrong’s Iron Rail.
This was not just another victory for the Slovenian, but rather a lesson in the ability to deal with various circumstances, as Bugsher began the race in an liberal manner, attacking his competitors with a smile celebrating his victories in the stages with enthusiasm, impressing the fans in his bold style. With the entry of the race for the third week, the smile faded to be replaced by a great concentration, as Bogachsher turned from a cheerful adventurer to a cunning dominant. On his way to win the 2025 version, Bogachsher broke the record for the fastest rise to the Mont Vento region during the 16th stage, as he climbed in 54 minutes, 41 seconds, with a minute and 10 seconds faster than the best former number recorded by Spaniard Eiban May in 2004.
In 2024, Bogachsher won the Italian race, France and bicycle racing in the world championship in the same season, an achievement in which only Eddie Mercash participated in 1974 and Stephen Roth in 1987.
In 2020, it became the youngest of the French rider to win the France bicycle race since Henry Corne in 1904, the second youngest rider ever.
