Tadej Pogacar won the final mountain stage of the 2023 Tour de France to Le Markstein, as Jonas Vingegaard sealed back-to-back wins in the French race. With only Sunday’s processional stage to central Paris still to come, the Dane will, barring accidents, wear the final yellow jersey on the Champs-Élysées on Sunday.

Pogacar, whose overall challenge collapsed midweek in the Alps, had been determined to end the Tour on a positive note. Despite his final stage win, he was still beaten overall by 7:29 by Vingegaard, with his UAE Team Emirates, teammate, Adam Yates, finishing third overall at 10min 56sec behind the Jumbo-Visma rider.
