Live report recap: Tour de France - Stage 6 - Healy wins with stunning solo!

Stage 6 of the 2025 Tour de France is a 202 kilometre stage from Bayeux finishing in Vire Normandie. With over 3400 metres of elevation on the stage, it is bound to be a punchy affair, and perhaps one for the breakaway. The stage will commence at 12:45 CET and finish at approximately 17:20 CET. Follow all of the action on stage 6 with our live coverage.

After yesterday’s time trial, the Tour heads back into the hills with 201.5km and over 3,400 metres of climbing through La Suisse Normande. Stage 6 is the toughest of the first week and ends with a brutal final kilometre averaging 10.4%. Will UAE and Alpecin control things again, or will the break finally stick? Local hero Kévin Vauquelin could ride into yellow if he makes the move, while Van der Poel and Pogačar remain favourites from a reduced bunch. Riders like Healy, Alaphilippe and Van Aert may also seize this rare chance before the weekend’s sprint stages. Expect fireworks in the final 50km - and plenty of tension from the start.
