Yes, Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) won his fourth Tour de France, but it takes a team, even the one guy who didn't make it to Paris, Joao Almeida who called it quits during Stage 9 succumbing to his injuries from an earlier crash. The rest of UAE posed together in the traditional linked arms before having to dodge more road furniture. Along with Pogacar, it was Adam Yates, Marc Soler, Nils Politt, Pavel Sivakov, Tim Wellens, and Jhonathan Narvaez worked together to make the dream become a reality. The team celebrated the win by rolling out splashes of yellow on their jerseys, yellow bar tape, and yellow socks. The two wearing national champion's jerseys added a yellow band to their sleaves instead. Admittedly, you can't see those here. I didn't see any champagne toast at the start today. Everyone was unsure how the stage would play out, so best stick with the program until the last guy rolls across the line on the Champs Elysees.
