The UAE Team Emirates rider finished the Tour with a sixth stage victory and became the first man to win cycling’s two biggest races in the same year since Italian Marco Pantani in 1998.
The Tour’s finale was held outside of Paris for the first time since 1903 as the French capital prepares to host the Olympics.
Wearing the yellow jersey Slovenia’s Pogacar, 25, finished the stage 63 seconds clear of second-placed Jonas Vingegaard.
The win secured his third Tour de France title, extending his lead over nearest rival and two-time winner Vingegaard, of Visma–Lease a Bike, to six minutes and 17 seconds.
“I cannot describe how happy I am,” said Pogacar.
“After two hard years in the Tour de France, this year everything went to perfection.”
Tour debutant Remco Evenepoel, riding for Soudal–Quick-Step, finished third on the stage and completed the general classification podium, nine minutes and 18 seconds behind Pogacar.
The 2024 edition will also be remembered for Mark Cavendish’s record 35th stage victory in Saint Vulbas in the opening week.
After completing the final stage, the legendary British sprinter said this year’s Tour is likely to have been his last race.
