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.

Ben Healy of EF Education-Easypost won a furiously-contested stage six at the 2025 Tour de France Thursday, attacking from a group of eight riders with 41 kilometers remaining and soloing to the finish in Vire Normandie.

Tadej Pogačar remains the -550 favorite to win the 2025 Tour de France after Stage 6 on Thursday, but the competition remains stiff up front where Mathieu van der Peul (+49000) reclaimed the yellow jersey as overall leader, one second ahead of the three-time champion.

Remco Evenepoel is clearly the man to beat in stage five. The Olympic and world time trial champion was superb at the Dauphine where he took 20 seconds out of Jonas Vingegaard and was 48 seconds ahead of Tadej Pogacar. And with no Filippo Ganna or Stefan Bissegger after their stage one crashes it is hard to look beyond the big three.

Let's give you all the ways that you can pee during the Tour de France: This is what's known as a "nature break." Per The Independent: A nature break slot may be decided by the race leader to allow everyone to go in comfort, with attacking strictly forbidden during the pause.
