US EditionTour De France: Healy Wins Hilly 6th Stage, Van Der Poel Takes Yellow Jersey From Pogačar
FRANCE, JUL 10 – Ben Healy's solo attack from an eight-man breakaway secured his first Tour de France stage win, while Mathieu van der Poel reclaimed the yellow jersey by one second over Tadej Pogacar.
- Irish rider Ben Healy won the sixth stage of the Tour de France on July 10, 2025, after a long solo breakaway from Bayeux to Vire Normandie.
- With more than 40 km remaining, Healy made his move by breaking away from a group of eight riders, aiming to get ahead early in order to outpace the strong climbers within that select group.
- The hilly 201.5 km stage featured six minor climbs and ended with a sharp uphill finish, with Quinn Simmons second and Michael Storer third.
- Healy said, "I knew what I had to do, just head down and do my best ride to the finish," and he finished well ahead of his closest rivals.
- Mathieu van der Poel took back the race lead, holding a narrow one-second advantage over defending champion Tadej Pogacar, setting the stage for a tightened battle for the title.
