Tadej Pogačar is prepared to pursue his fourth Tour de France title in 2025, with Jonas Vingegaard as his main rival. The competition between them has been intense, having secured the last five yellow jerseys. Pogačar expressed respect for Vingegaard, calling him the best climber currently. He acknowledged the unpredictable nature of the race due to emerging competitors. Pogačar showcased confidence, attributing his high level of performance to a great season leading into the Tour, and he aims to meet the expectations of fans and his team.
The last 5 years were quite intense between me, Jonas, and others as well, with great competition, rivalry, and I think this year is more or less the same.
It will be interesting to see if we can exchange it again or not, but you never know with new guys coming in, someone can surprise, and a lot can happen in such a long race.
But I'm looking forward to racing against Jonas again. I think he's in great shape. For me, it's been a great season, so far perfect and going here to the Tour as one of the favourites is an honour.
The defending champion is definitely ready for that rivalry to renew, but he did have some positive words for his rival Vingegaard, describing him curiously as 'the best climber in the world at the moment.'
