Vingegaard’s winning time was 79 hours 33 minutes 20 seconds. Slovenian Tadej Pogakar finished second after 2 minutes 43 seconds, and Britain’s Geriant Thomas finished third, 7:22 times, in the three-week event.
Belgium’s Jasper Philipsen grabbed the final stage with a second stage win of several bike lengths. Dutchman Dylan Groenwegen finished second in the race ahead of Norway’s Alexander Kristof, who was third.
Vingegaard finished second in Saturday’s time trial behind his Jumbo-Visma teammate Wout van Aert to take a 3min 34sec lead on the final day. However, his time so far left him in front of his closest followers, and soon after finishing he was able to start his coronation by cuddling his partner, Trin Hansen, and their two-year-old daughter, Frida.
He did it again on Sunday almost immediately after he crossed the line.
“Having my girl on the finish line means more to me,” he told reporters on Saturday. “I am very happy and proud.”
Among Vinggaard’s closest competitors was Poojacar, who was seeking a third victory in a row. He has been chasing Weinggaard, last year’s Tour de France runner-up, since the Dane took the yellow jersey from him in the Alps.
Vingegaard’s rates soared last year after the first Jumbo-Visma rider, Primoz Roglic, retired after having an accident. His performance in the wake of Roglic’s departure marked one of the fastest times to climb Mont Ventoux.
Finishing Vingegaard’s storybook is all the more urgent given that three years ago he was working part-time at a packing plant in Denmark, cleaning and cleaning fish. He also worked at a fish auction, often getting up well before sunrise and working in frigid temperatures.
Meanwhile, Van Aert finished this year’s Tour de France wearing the green jersey, awarded to the race’s best sprinter. Van Aert won three stages while helping his teammate climb the rugged Hautacam on Stage 18, breaking off the track and controlling the pace.
Pogacar couldn’t stay in touch and eventually fizzled out as Vingegaard and van Aert continued to climb, keeping Jumbo-Visma’s team ahead by winning its six stages out of 20.
“I think the fight between me and Jonas was something really special and Jonas was something really special,” said Pojakar, 23.
