2025 Giro d’Italia champion Simon Yates took his first Tour de France stage victory for six years on Monday, winning at Le Mont-Dore Puy de Sancy on the hardest stage of the race so far.

Tadej Pogačar powered to an impressive stage win on the first day in the Pyrenees to take back the Tour de France yellow jersey on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Abrahamsen edged out Schmid in a two-up sprint to the line, with Van der Poel crossing seven seconds later having left his charge too charge.
