Cyclist Tadej Pogacar has cemented his place in the history books after winning a record-equalling fifth Tour de France title. The Slovenian rider secured the prestigious cycling event with a strong finish in Paris, joining an elite group of riders who have achieved the same feat.
The 25-year-old Pogacar has been dominating the Tour de France in recent years, and his latest victory has solidified his position as one of the world's top cyclists. This achievement brings him alongside Bernard Hinault and Eddy Merckx, who have also won the Tour de France five times.
Met Office weather forecasts indicate that the UK will experience a mixed summer, with temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C in July. While this may not have directly affected Pogacar's performance, the unpredictable British weather can be a challenge for cyclists and other athletes.
