By Julien Pretot LA PLAGNE, France (Reuters) -Such is Tadej Pogacar’s domination on the Tour de France that what began as a frantic chase for stage wins has morphed into a racing masterclass - a reigning champion pulling the strings on his way to a fourth title.

Dutch rider Thymen Arensman crossed the finish line of stage 19 in the rain two seconds ahead of title contender Jonas Vingegaard and his rival Tadej Pogacar, who looks set to claim his fourth title in Paris on Sunday.

Ben O'Connor won the toughest mountain stage of the 2025 Tour de France, while Tadej Pogačar ensured there was little drama with the yellow jersey.
