Irish rider Ben Healy won the hilly sixth stage of the Tour de France after a long solo breakaway while Mathieu van der Poel took back the yellow jersey by one second.

Tour de France 2025 Stage Six was won by Ben Healy after an incredible solo attack propelled him unchallenged into the northern town of Vire Normandie. Healy, the Irish professional, had ridden with the main breakaway group for 100 kilometers when he launched his attack.

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.
