Tadej Pogacar has career victory 101, regaining the Maillot Jaune at the 2025 Tour de France with an incredible late kick towards the line on the Mur-de-Bretagne.

Despite the been earmarked as a potential day for the breakaway, just five riders got themselves up the road. Those being former Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas (INEOS Grenadiers), Alex Baudin (EF Education-EasyPost), Marco Haller (Tudor Pro Cycling Team), Ewen Costiou (Arkéa - B&B Hotels) and Ivan Garcia Cortina (Movistar Team).

With the teams of Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogacar clearly not wanting to let the break fight for the stage win however, it soon became clear why some weren't too interested in the breakaway early on, as they were only allowed around 1:30-2:00 of a gap at the front.

There was a momentary scare for Remco Evenepoel ahead of the finishing circuit, as the Soudal - Quick-Step leader, 2nd on GC at the start of the day, found himself out the back of the peloton thanks to a mechanical. Despite the rising pace at the front however, the Olympic champion was soon safely back near the front of the bunch.

With around 18km to go though, as the first ascent of the Mûr-de-Bretagne started, the peloton were still around 50 seconds down on the breakaway, now down to just three as Geraint Thomas dropped away. On the climb itself, the peloton swept up Thomas, as they did Haller and Baudin, leaving only Costiou out in front of the race, 20 seconds clear at the top.

At the front of the peloton, Team Visma | Lease a Bike were the ones attempting to control things now, firstly through Simon Yates on the climb, and then with an attacking descent by Wout van Aert. Because of this relentless pace in the peloton, Costiou himself was then caught by the bunch with just over 12km to go.

At just over 6km to go though, the peloton was rocked by a violent crash at the back of the peloton was most notably, Joao Almeida going down hard.

On the final climb, Remco Evenepoel then took to the front early, attempting to control from the front. In the end though, there was no stopping Tadej Pogacar, as despite another strong showing from Jonas Vingegaard, the world champion blitzed clear with a stunning late kick.
