Ben Healy wins Tour de France Stage 6, van der Peul gets yellow jersey

Ben Healy picked his spot perfectly Thursday, July 10, at the 2025 Tour de France, breaking away from the peloton and the rest of the competition during Stage 6 of cycling’s preeminent event. The English-born rider representing Ireland raced on his own for more than 26 miles for the first Tour de France stage win of his career.

The drama also included another change in the race for the yellow jersey. Mathieu van der Peul emerged with a one second lead over three-time Tour de France champion and 2025 favorite Tadej Pogačar, who made a late push to eliminate a sizable chunk of van der Peul’s advantage at the end of Stage 6. Van der Peul previously had the yellow jersey as recently as Wednesday and entered Thursday’s race in sixth place ‒ 1 minute, 28 seconds behind Pogačar ‒ in the overall Tour de France standings following Wednesday’s individual time trial.

Tim Wellens of Belgium also took back the polka dot jersey from Pogačar as the top climber at this year’s Tour de France following Stage 6, which took place on a 201.5-kilometer course from Bayeux to Vire-Normandie that proved to be the toughest climbing stage yet. American Quinn Simmons finished in second place in Thursday’s race, but crossed the line 2 minutes, 44 seconds behind Healy.

Here’s a look at the complete stage 6 results and 2025 Tour de France standings after Thursday, July 10, as well as what’s coming up for cycling’s biggest race:
