The 2024 Tour de France nears its midway point after Sunday's Stage 9, and Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogačar continues to establish his lead.

Eritrean rider and Stage 8 winner Biniam Girmay also maintained his lead in the points classification for a fifth straight day.
Here's how the classification at the 2024 Tour de France looks as it nears the midway point and heads into its first off day.
