Tour de France 2025 GC Update | Ben Healy becomes just 4th Irishman to ever wear the Maillot Jaune after heroic breakaway performance on stage 10
Cycling
As we finally reach the first rest day of the 2025 Tour de France, it is EF Education-EasyPost's Ben Healy who leads the general classification standings. The stage 6 winner couldn't add another victory on stage 10, but a heroic breakaway performance has seen him usurp Tadej Pogacar and become just the 4th Irishman in history to don the Maillot Jaune.
Having started the day 3:55 down, Healy got himself into the breakaway and was a constant presence right at the front throughout the day. Although for the majority of the stage he was relatively comfortably in the provisional race lead, Team Visma | Lease a Bike exploded the GC group behind towards the end, giving Healy a very nervous wait after he crossed the line in 3rd on the day. In the end though, Pogacar seemed content to pass on the Maillot Jaune, rolling home alongside Jonas Vingegaard 4:20 down on Healy, giving the Irishman a 29 second GC advantage over Pogacar.
Remco Evenepoel lost a handful of seconds on Vingegaard and Pogacar at the line, but the Belgian remains 2nd overall. The day's big casualty was Kevin Vauquelin with the Frenchman not having a happy Bastille Day and dropping from 3rd to 6th on GC now 2:26 down and behind both Vingegaard and Matteo Jorgenson.
Completing the top-10 then are Oscar Onley in 7th at 3:24, Florian Lipowitz (3:34), Primoz Roglic (3:41) and Tobias Johannessen (5:03).

- You're right about Kieran Wood, but he keeps reminding us he's the big Deputy Editor-in-Chief !?!? He says his focus is on accurate, real-time coverage and clear contextual analysis. Kieran also says he places strong emphasis on careful sourcing, editorial accuracy, and updating articles as new, verified information becomes available. So... he's gotta be right in saying Pogi is a four time TDF winner!?!? ... or maybe not!?!? LOL !!!PogiSloFans03-11-2026
- A busy boy!Lozza03-11-2026
- I hope 2027 is his year.mij03-11-2026
- why does he have to? many GT riders from Froome to Contador to Indurain didn't do them.mij03-11-2026
- I think Jonas would have lost the TDF by 4+ minutes (at the least) and might not have even been in the top 3. Too much talent in the younger riders to say anyone not named Pogačar would have been top 3md197503-11-2026

- There was once a time when Lance was supremely popular and he used his artificial "It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life" persona to lead his mob in going after Greg. There was no one Lance did not abuse in protecting his phony hero image. Lance promoted himself as a divine megastar and he let down millions of cancer victims and gullible devotees who clung far too long to the charade. Lance is the epitome of a corrupt person and because of his power, many around him, including business enterprises, succumbed to the evil. All who got in Armstrong's way were mercilessly attacked by him and his minions. This remarkably continues today with a new generation. LeMond was a number one enemy and paid a huge price. Who do you think slandered who?Yepperoni03-11-2026
- You despise him because he calls out the truth....OK clown !frieders303-11-2026
- JV is really slighting himself with not doing the 1 dayers.. 🤷
leedorney02-11-2026 - Watch the interview on youtube. I don't speak French. I do speak English and Spanish and you can hear it in his voice. Years ago LeMond had real personal problems I imagine in no small part because of Armstrong. then Armstrong goes round "full blast" re: LeMond having drinking and drug problems. The same way Andreu was expelled from mainstream cycling so was LeMond. On the positive side the clips of the ride and chatting with old teammates and was good. To seemed like a fun day and experience and good reason brush up his French.atom02-11-2026
