A Historic Day for the Slovenian Champion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tadej Poga\u010dar (UAE Team Emirates) delivered another masterclass on Stage 7 of the 2025 Tour de France, powering to victory atop M\u00fbr-de-Bretagne<\/strong> and securing his 19th career Tour de France stage win<\/strong>. This milestone places the Slovenian superstar alongside cycling greats Mark Cavendish, Bernard Hinault, and Eddy Merckx<\/strong> in the all-time stage win rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Poga\u010dar Strengthens His Grip on Yellow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The decisive move came on the final ascent of M\u00fbr-de-Bretagne, where Poga\u010dar attacked with trademark explosiveness, leaving his rivals trailing in his wake. With the victory, he not only extended his tally of stage wins but also solidified his hold on the coveted Maillot Jaune (Yellow Jersey)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stage unfolded at a blistering pace, with an average speed of 48.1 km\/h<\/strong>, marking it as one of the fastest in Tour history for a stage featuring over 2000 meters of climbing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Poga\u010dar Claims Green Jersey Too<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As if winning the stage and retaining the Yellow Jersey weren\u2019t enough, Tadej Poga\u010dar also took over the Maillot Vert (Green Jersey)<\/strong> as leader of the Tour de France points classification on Stage 7. Thanks to intermediate sprint points and maximum points at the stage finish, Poga\u010dar now leads the competition typically reserved for the fastest sprinters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Chasing History: What\u2019s Next for Poga\u010dar?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This win not only cements Poga\u010dar\u2019s dominance in the 2025 Tour but also raises the tantalizing possibility of him surpassing the all-time stage win record<\/strong> before his career is done. With sprinter Mark Cavendish at 19 and both Hinault and Merckx at 19 as well, Poga\u010dar now shares their place at the summit of stage-winning legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    A Glimpse at Stage 8<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Tour continues today with \u00c9tape 8<\/a><\/strong> from Saint-M\u00e9en-le-Grand to Laval<\/strong> (171.4km), a flatter profile that favors the sprinters. While Poga\u010dar will aim to defend both the Yellow and Green Jerseys<\/strong>, eyes will be on the likes of Jasper Philipsen (if fit)<\/strong> et Mads Pedersen<\/strong> for the stage honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    With his 19th Tour de France stage victory and a double jersey haul, Tadej Poga\u010dar continues to redefine cycling greatness<\/strong>. Stage 7\u2019s win on the iconic M\u00fbr-de-Bretagne<\/strong> was yet another reminder of his tactical brilliance and climbing dominance. As the race heads into flatter terrain, the battle for the overall and points titles remains finely poised.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
