The Reigning Tour de France Winner: Tadej Pogačar
The reigning champion from the 2021 Tour is Slovenian superhuman Tadej Pogačar.
The two-time Tour de France winner edged out compatriot Primoz Roglic on the penultimate stage time trial on his debut at the 2020 edition, before blowing away the field in 2021.
Given the dominance of his last win, Pogačar remains a strong favorite to maintain his incredible record of winning every Tour de France by storming to victory at this year’s race.
