Sainz posted several photos together with Pogačar, captioning them: “Legend! Congrats @tadejpogacar on your 4th Tour de France. What a beast!💪🏻 We celebrate soon… recovery ride and focaccia on me! 😜”.

It’s worth noting that Sainz and Pogačar both reside in Monaco—they’ve known each other for a long time and often cycle together along the French Mediterranean coast. As Sainz once joked, these rides stir up very different emotions. What is just an easy recovery session for Pogačar is, for Sainz, one of the toughest rides of his life.

For Pogačar, this Tour de France 2025 victory marks the fourth of his career. He previously claimed the French Grand Tour title in 2020, 2021, and 2024.
