Ben Healy surged out on his own to win Stage 6 at the Tour de France. Mathieu van der Peul also took back the yellow jersey from Tadej Pogacar.

Irish rider Ben Healy won a hilly sixth stage of the Tour de France after a long solo breakaway while Mathieu van der Poel took back the yellow jersey from defending champion Tadej Pogačar by one second.

Healy has always shown his Tour promise. In 2020, he won the last stage of the Ronde de l’Isard in France, considered one of the top under-23 races in the world, the same day as Bennett won the last stage of the Tour de France. In 2019, Healy was also the youngest ever winner of a stage of the Tour de l’Avenir.
