The pattern behind it

5 of 10
Five of the last ten Tours were won by the rider wearing yellow at the first rest day. The six editions set out above carry two of those conversions; the full record adds Froome in 2016 and 2017 and Pogacar in 2021, and narrowing the population to genuine GC contenders rather than breakaway leaders lifts it to five of seven.

Half of the last ten first-rest-day leaders won the Tour. Leading at that point sounds decisive, and in recent years it has been closer to a coin toss. Those who lost the lead include Pogacar himself. Below are six of those Tours. The rest of the record adds Chris Froome's wins in 2016 and 2017 and Pogacar's win in 2021.
