HISTORIC WIN FOR SLOVENIAN

Tadej Pogacar became the first Slovenian to win the Tour de France after he retained the overall leader's yellow jersey in the 21st stage won by Sam Bennett on Sunday. The Team UAE Emirates rider, right, who turns 22 today, is the youngest man to win the race since Henri Cornet in 1904. Pogacar, who pulled off a major upset when he claimed the yellow jersey from Primoz Roglic with a monumental performance in Saturday's time trial, also won the white jersey for the best under-25 rider and the polka-dot jersey for the mountains classification. Roglic ended up second, with Australian Richie Porte third. Bennett became the first Irishman since Sean Kelly in 1989 to win the green jersey for the points classification. It was an anti-climatic finale on the Champs Elysees as only 5,000 fans were allowed on the famous avenue as a precaution against the coronavirus.
