Richie Porte has made the podium in Paris after securing third place in the Tour de France TDF2020 🇦🇺
Richie Porte has become the first Australian since Cadel Evans in 2011 to make the podium in the Tour de France's general classification after crossing the line to secure third place in Paris.
Pogacar, who will celebrate his 22nd birthday on Monday, is the youngest man to win the race since Henri Cornet in 1904 and the first debutant to win since Laurent Fignon in 1983. It was an anti-climatic finale on the Champs-Élysées as only 5000 fans were allowed on the famous avenue as a precaution against the coronavirus.But it didn't matter to Pogacar, who had pulled off one the biggest coups in Tour de France history. Despite early setbacks, Pogacar managed to turn the tables and tear apart Roglic’s script.
The Team UAE Emirates rider, however, took his chances when he could, regaining 40 seconds on the Col de Peyresourde in the Pyrenees with an attack Roglic did not cover. The day before, Pogacar had lost 1min 21sec in crosswinds on a flat stage but he was not discouraged.
