The seventh stage of the Tour de France 2025 had everything: attacks, tension, falls and an explosive outcome in the Brittany wall. The main protagonist was again Tadej Pogacar, who finished with force to take the victory and recover the yellow jersey.
The day was marked by the strong fall that in the absence of six kilometers affected several important corridors, including Colombian Santiago Buitrago, until then the best of his country in the general. The Bahrain-Victororus was beaten, with possible abandonment on the horizon. Sergio Higita was also involved, but the Antioquia got up quickly, reached the finish line in the 20th position, although he lost more than a minute.
From the exit in Saint-Malo, he flew, with several attempts to escape and a lot of nervousness. A group of five runners managed to open hole, but was hunted in the final kilometers before the last step through the Brittany wall. There Pogacar launched a dry attack that could only follow Jonas Vingegaard, while Evenepoel, Van der Poel and the rest of the favorites were somewhat cut.
The Slovenian signed his second victory in this edition of the Tour and dresses again yellow, leaving Evenepoel 54 seconds in the general. Vingegaard, fourth in the classification, follows the expectation at 1:17.
Among the Colombians, in addition to the hard fall of Buitrago, Higuita managed to stay among the twenty best of the day despite the scare, while Harold Tejada and Einer Rubio arrived more lagging. This was the classifications:
