The Slovenian Tadej Pogacar won the 2020 Tour de France after he retained the overall leader's yellow jersey in the 21st stage won by Sam Bennett. The 21-year-old cyclist is the youngest man to win the race since Henri Cornet in 1904.

Pogacar, who will turn 22 on Monday, became the first to claim three of the event's simultaneous competitions in the same year: the yellow jersey for the general classification, the polka dot one as the race's top climber, and the white jersey awarded to the Tour's best young rider.
