Thymen Arensman claimed his second win at this year's Tour de France, following victory on stage 14

Tadej Pogacar is set to win his fourth Tour de France after defending his lead on the final mountain stage of this year's race, as Thymen Arensman held on for a dramatic victory after a gruelling ascent to La Plagne.

Barring a remarkable turnaround, Pogacar will confirm his latest victory in Paris on Sunday after he crossed the line with Jonas Vingegaard, conceding just two bonus seconds to his rival.

The Slovenian's lead stands at four minutes 24 seconds, with two significantly flatter stages remaining.

In an epic conclusion to the final stage in the high mountains, the top four general classification riders chased Arensman to the finish, at 2,052m above sea level, but Vingegaard fell two seconds short of the Dutchman.
