Tour de France: Tadej Pogacar Wins Stage 7, Reclaims Yellow Jersey

Tadej Pogacar stormed to his second stage win of this year’s Tour de France 2025, powering up the brutal Mur-de-Bretagne climb to take Stage 7 and reclaim the yellow jersey. The 197 km stage ended with a steep double ascent, where Pogacar launched a sprint of 200 meters from the line. Jonas Vingegaard tried to catch him but had to settle for second. Oscar Onley came third. Pogacar now leads the overall standings by 54 seconds over Remco Evenepoel. A crash involving teammate Joao Almeida marred the finale, though he’s expected to continue racing despite a rib fracture.
