President Biden has dropped out of the 2024 presidential election and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place.Tour de France winner Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar , wearing the overall leader's yellow jersey, celebrates as he crosses the finish line of the twenty-first stage of the Tour de France cycling race, an individual time trial over 33.7 kilometers with start in Monaco and finish in Nice , France, Sunday, July 21, 2024.

The two-time defending champion Vingegaard of Denmark was second overall. He also finished the 21st and final stage in second place.
"I'm super happy. I cannot describe how happy I am after two hard years in the Tour de France," Pogacar said. "This year everything perfection." After his explosive attack on Friday, Pogacar said he would not try to win Saturday's stage. Yet he still won it to become the second man to clinch five mountain stages in one Tour after Italian rider Gino Bartali in 1948.
It was Pogacar's biggest winning margin of his three Tour wins — beating the 5:20 gap on Vingegaard three years ago, but below the 7:29 victory margin Vingegaard enjoyed over Pogacar last year.The 27-year-old Vingegaard was hospitalized for nearly two weeks in April following a high-speed crash in the Tour of the Basque Country. He resumed competitive racing only on this Tour.
