5th Tour de France win for Stages Power and first for Stages Dash

(Boulder, CO – September 22, 2020) StagesⓇ Cycling congratulates Tadej Pogačar on his historic Tour de France win. In his first Tour, the 21-year-old Slovenian won three stages and clinched the White Jersey for best young rider, the Polka Dot Jersey for best climber, and the Malliot Jaune for overall victory, becoming the first rider to take home all three overall jerseys since Eddy Merckx in 1969. Pogačar is also the second youngest Tour de France winner in history, next to 20 year old Henri Cornet who won the race in 1904.

This marks the fifth overall Tour de France victory for Stages Power meters and the first for the new Stages Dash GPS cycling computers.
