Grand Prix La Marseillaise route gave a lot of finishing possibilities and this edition went for the attackers with EF Education-EasyPost rider Neilson Powless taking the victory.
The race started with a 4 men breakaway, among them was Enzo Paleni, Groupama-FDJ young talent. At around 50 kilometers to the finish in the hardest climb of the race the peloton broke and a small group of riders was formed at the front. With the likes of Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost), Brent Van Moer (Lotto-Dstny), Valentin Ferron (TotalEnergies) and Lenny Martinez (Groupama-FDJ) among others.
On the last Climb Col de La Gineste, the decisive attacks occurred with Neilson Powless managing to go solo. A group of 8 riders formed and tried their best to catch the North American rider.
But the American always managed to control the distance and celebrated calmly his solo win ahead of Valentin Ferron (Total Energies) and Brent Van Moer (Lotto-Dstny) who were the first of the chase group.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
