Irish rider Ben Healy claimed his maiden Tour de France victory with a daring solo attack on Stage 6, breaking away from a powerful eight-man group with about 40 kilometres remaining. The 24-year-old EF Education–EasyPost rider covered the 201.5-kilometre route from Bayeux to Vire Normandie in 4 hours 24 minutes 10 seconds, finishing 2 minutes 44 seconds ahead of Quinn Simmons and 2 minutes 51 seconds clear of Michael Storer. Healy’s success triggered a reshuffle at the top of the overall standings. Mathieu van der Poel, who placed eighth on the stage, reclaimed the yellow jersey he had surrendered the previous day and now leads three-time champion Tadej Pogacar by a single second. Remco Evenepoel, winner of Wednesday’s individual time trial in Caen, sits third at 43 seconds, while Jonas Vingegaard remains fifth, 1 minute 14 seconds adrift. The week’s early drama included the departure of top sprinter Jasper Philipsen, who left the race with a fractured clavicle after a crash on Stage 3 between Valenciennes and Dunkerque. His exit has reopened the contest for the green points jersey, currently led by Italy’s Jonathan Milan. Riders now turn their attention to Friday’s 194-kilometre Stage 7 from Saint-Malo to the punchy finish atop Mûr-de-Bretagne, where the narrow one-second margin between Van der Poel and Pogacar will face an immediate test.
