Stage 7 Summary
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) won stage 7 of the Tour de France 2025 at Mûr-de-Bretagne, reclaiming the Maillot Jaune and securing his second stage victory of the 2025 Tour, his 19th overall in the event. The Slovenian outpaced Jonas Vingegaard and Oscar Onley in a thrilling final sprint on the iconic climb, marking his 42nd day leading the Tour’s general classification, tying Jacques Anquetil’s record. The 179-rider peloton faced a fast-paced stage from Saint-Malo, with 53.7km covered in the first hour. A five-man breakaway, including local rider Ewen Costiou, formed at km 55 but was caught with 12km to go. Despite a crash involving teammate Joao Almeida, Pogacar’s team controlled the race, and his decisive acceleration on the second ascent of Mûr-de-Bretagne (2km at 6.9%, up to 15% gradients) secured the win. Mathieu Van der Poel, 22nd on the stage, dropped to fifth overall (+1’29’’).
