The Tour de France is all but wrapped up.

Reigning champion Tadej Pogačar came into the 2025 race as the favourite and has once again delivered, with only a disaster on the final stage standing between him and fourth victory in Le Tour.

It's been a successful final week for the Australian contingent, with Ben O'Conner (Stage 18) and Kaden Groves (20) claiming stage victories.
