Tour de France stage 20: Groves completes Grand Tour trilogy, Pogacar reflects on ‘crazy’ race, Jegat ghosts into top 10 Analysis of the penultimate day's action in the 2025 race – a 184km route from Nantua to Pontarlier

Stage 20! In the books. Everyone is exhausted on GC, but a thrilling squabble between the breakaway.

Outstanding first Tour de France win for Kaden Groves - wouldn’t have been given a chance on some of those climbs, amid that company.

Tour de France stage 16: Mont Ventoux delivers, Paret-Peintre outsprints Healy for victory, Pogacar sets record time Analysis of the latest day's action in the 2025 race - a 171km stage from Montpellier to Mont Ventoux

If cycling is a national obsession in the month of July, then Ventoux is the apex from which it ripples.

France finally have their first win of this Tour, Valentin Paret-Peintre finishing off a fantastic stage on the final ramp. Very lucky to be on its last bend.

Tour de France stage nine: Van der Poel’s epic breakaway, Merlier takes second win, will Almeida abandon impact Pogacar? Analysis of the ninth stage of the 2025 Tour de France, which took the peloton from Chinon to Chateauroux

Thierry Gouvenou said earlier that sprint stages may not have a future in the Tour de France, but this was a classic of the genre.

A gutsy, gutsy ride from Van der Poel and Rickaert, and a fast, fair, and filament-thin battle between Merlier and Milan.
