Defending Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar won Stage 7 after a frantic finish on Friday to reclaim the yellow jersey and overall lead in 2025.

The defending champion conquers the steep Mur-de-Bretagne climb and holds a 54-second lead as the overwhelming favorite to win a fourth Tour title.

Ben Healy surged out on his own to win Stage 6 at the Tour de France. Mathieu van der Peul also took back the yellow jersey from Tadej Pogacar.

After a long solo breakaway on Thursday, Irish rider Ben Healy won a hilly sixth stage of the Tour de France and Mathieu van der Poel took the yellow jersey from defending champion Tadej Pogačar by one second.

The 2025 Tour de France heads into Brittany to pay a visit to the scene of a memorable win from four years ago, as the Mur de Bretagne returns to La Grande Boucle. Starting in stunning Saint-Malo, the peloton will travel 194km inland along yet more bumpy terrain - the hallmark of this opening week - to finish in Guerledan.

Tadej Pogacar is the odds-on favourite to win a fourth yellow jersey after winning the Tour in 2020, 2021 and last year, when he beat two-time winner Jonas Vingegaard by over six minutes. Slovenia's world champion Tadej Pogacar won a third Tour de France title in 2024 and lines up as the overwhelming favourite.
