Tour de Luxembourg Stage 5 Results | Brandon McNulty takes the GC win as Romain Gregoire out-kicks Ben Healy for victory on final day
Cycling
Brandon McNulty has secured overall victory at the 2025 Tour de Luxembourg. On a frantic final day of the race, Romain Gregoire took victory ahead of Ben Healy after the pair had been part of a late attack together.
A lively finale to the Tour de Luxembourg unfolded as an opening two-man split — Enzo Paleni (Groupama - FDJ) and Mats Wenzel (Equipo Kern Pharma) — promptly attracted company and morphed into a dangerous break. The escape eventually featured experienced names such as Tao Geoghegan Hart, Stefan Bissegger, Thibaut Guernalec, Max Walker, Casper Pedersen and others, giving the move plenty of firepower and pedigree. At its largest, the group carved out a healthy margin, only for the race to turn ugly for the attackers as the peloton progressively tightened the screws.
Teams with GC interest were never idle. Groupama - FDJ, Tudor Pro Cycling Team and Wagner Bazin alternated at the front of the bunch, and the tempo on the Côte de Nommern and later the approach to the Côte de Kautenbach stretched the race out and reduced the break’s buffer. Vertical metres were stacking up — the parcours had already eaten well over a quarter of the day’s climbing — and riders began to show the kind of fatigue that makes late attacks much more believable than earlier bravado.
By the time there were roughly 30 kilometres to go, the gap had been whittled down to around a minute as the peloton closed ranks and set the stage for a proper finale. With 20km to go, Wenzel, the last remaining survivor of the day's break, had company at the front in the form of a counter-attacking Ben Healy and Romain Gregoire. By 10km to go, Healy and Gregoire had accelerated again, leaving Wenzel behind.
With Wenzel dispatched and the peloton more than a minute down going into the last 3km, it became a two-man battle for the stage win. In that fight for victory it was then Romain Gregoire who took the spoils, continuing his fine form of late, with Healy having to settle for 2nd. In terms of the GC though, overall victory was Brandon McNulty's.

- I get the point totally. We live in the snowflake society where some riders forget they are getting paid to ride and get results. When they have a few issues they try to look outside of the real issue instead of themselves. It odd so many of the team are making no complaints and getting on with their job. If you do not like what you do find another job simples. Tough love as my mum would say.paultryan200207-11-2026
- many people advise him to grow slowly and rather do giro and/or vuelta instead of tdf. but i can totally understand that he is not satisfied with taking over once pogi declines, but instead beat him in his prime. so if he goes for tdf again, i‘m all for it. let‘s hope that pogi recovers soon!Ketterechts07-11-2026
- So gracious to offer something no-one would be prepared to pay for. The Giro is not the Tour and doesn’t command the same interest or attract the same “elite” (those willing to pay to be a part of something they consider has ego boosting potential). Roadside viewing will always largely remain free for everyone outside circuits. Introduction of a symbolic entrance to mountain climbs is worthy of exploration. Asking 1-2€ isn’t going to repulse real fans (most will spend 50-100€ on their outing that day all things included) but will prevent a portion of the total knobhead thrillseekers who will join in any large gathering as long as it’s free, just because they’re attracted to crowds, without which it it difficult for them to work up their anti-social behaviour.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026

- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026
- for a medical chief to throw things like is just bad. There are already radios which were banned for spectacle. allow radios. Gps trackers are not a complete solutionabstractengineer07-11-2026
- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
- I'm very glad he got the big late Quickstep Vuelta win and I hope he has a few left for Euskaltel-Euskadi.flyer07-11-2026
