Four times Tour de France winner
There are moments in cycling when things simply happen — when history is made —
even when you thought it had all already been written and nothing could surprise you anymore, it does.
Not suddenly. Not loudly. But they do.
A rider you thought you already knew reveals something more
Tadej Pogačar arrived at the 2025 Tour de France with the familiar questions swirling around him.
Can he still surprise us?
Can he still evolve, after having already achieved so much at just 26 years old?
When he crossed the finish line in Paris — wet, wind-battered, but unshaken —
the answer was clear: yes. He can still become more.
Four stage victories:
The finish in Rouen.
The climb to the Mûr de Bretagne.
The majesty of Hautacam.
And the time trial showdown at Peyragudes.
He took exactly what he needed.
No more, no less.
And then came Paris.
A final stage written in cobbles and rain, climbing Montmartre like a one-day classic.
And something had changed.
You could see it in how he rode. In his eyes. In the way he led.
Call it instinct. Or call it evolution.
There was a change in the air.
Not loud. Not obvious. But impossible to ignore.
Tadej, once again in yellow, backed by a team that worked like a perfectly tuned machine.
The King returned to take what he came for: his fourth Tour.
Fourth Tour, four times in yellow, and one common thread: every time with a MET helmet.
A winning partnership, an unbreakable bond between us and UAE Team Emirates.
Au revoir et merci a tous.
