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.

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.

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.

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.
