Pogacar reaches 100th-career win mark with victory in fourth stage of Tour de France

Reigning champion Tadej Pogacar overtook race leader Mathieu van der Poel just before the line to win stage four of the Tour de France on Tuesday, and is now level at the top of the general classification after earning his 100th career victory.

The 174.2km ride from Amiens to Rouen came down to a sprint finish between the top three in the overall standings, with the Slovenian world champion getting the better of the Dutchman, and Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease A Bike) coming in third.

Pogacar, the world champion, tried to go it alone, and while Van der Poel retains the yellow jersey, the three-times Tour de France champion hit his milestone win, along with joining the Dutchman at the top of the leaderboard.

“To win at the Tour is incredible, in this jersey even more, and to have 100 victories is amazing,” Pogacar said.
