Victory for Thibaud Gruel on final Route d'Occitanie stage as Nicolas Prodhomme confirms GC win
CyclingSaturday, 21 June 2025 at 16:13
Nicolas Prodhomme has won the queen stage of La Route d'Occitanie and today he has confirmed the overall win with a confident ride. Stage 4 of the race was won by Thibaud Gruel of Groupama - FDJ in a reduced bunch sprint.
The final stage of the race in the Pyrenees featured three difficult climbs and it was not ridden easily, with the latter being used for attacks from Davide Piganzoli and with the GC men leading the race and fully in the picture.
However the short distance of the ascent didn't allow for large gaps to build and ultimately groups would be coming back together on the flat finale into Saint-Girons. Between the riders who survived the sprint, it was Thibaud Gruel who sprinted to victory ahead of Andrea Vendrame.

- he needs whatever solution pogacar found between 2023 and 2024, when he came back UNBEATABLE by van der poel in classics like flanders AND unbeatable in the grand tours. in 2023 cycling looked like it was in the midst of an absolute Golden Age of high level competitiveness, but by just the nest season pogacar got so much better that the competition was all but over. what was left was van der poel in races like roubaix and MSR. as i’ve said, i think next year pog will up his level again somehow and close the door on mathieu ever winning those races again.OCexile25-07-2025
- No. I think he was in the limit from pulling the entire climb like Jonas on VentouxGuavaking25-07-2025
- Remco and Florian would be as good as it gets for co-leadership.
Llywelynglyndwr25-07-2025 - He’s been a damp squib since day one of the tour.. I’m going to attack but he’s never really put Pogi under pressure at any point. The tour has been utterly brutal, the first ten days were intense the mountains harsh! Yesterday and today were as brutal as I can remember the Alps in many yearsslappers6625-07-2025
- My bad mobk, didn't see that
D3kst3r25-07-2025 - Does anyone doubt that Pogacar could have won this stage if Arensman wasn't a friend? He comfortably pulled at the front fast enough that Onley was dropped, the gap to Arensman was made smaller, and Vingegaard wasn't able to attack until the last few meters while Pogi freewheeled over the line.velodan25-07-2025
- Of course he has. He already proved it. With a strong team like bora, they would be able to compete more with Visma and UAEChrisBe25-07-2025
