The Belgian cyclist Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates) took this Sunday the victory in stage 15 of the Tour of France 2025, a half mountain day between Muret and Carcassone. The route had an extension of 169.3 kilometers and a positive slope of 2,315 meters.
The key to his triumph was in the last 40 kilometers, a sustained decline that the Belgian managed. He managed to escape sololy from the escape group and crossed the finish line with a difference of 1:32 minutes with the second.
On the podium of the day was accompanied by another Belgian, Victor Campenaerts, who starred in a strong attack from the persecutor in recent kilometers. The Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe, of Tudor Pro Cycling, completed the podium after imposing himself in the sprint of the persecutor.
The stage presented three mountain ports: two third category and one second, which gave leaks for leaks and was an ideal day for stage hunters. The general's favorites opted for a conservative strategy.
Tour leaders took advantage of the day to dose energies. They arrived at the finish line in a compact group, without making a difference between them. Tadej Pogacar, at the head of the general classification, has a 4:13 -minute advantage over the Danish Jonas Vingegaard, his closest rival.
The pedalists will take a break this Monday, which will be rest. The action will return next Tuesday, with a high mountain stage. A tour of 171.5 kilometers between Montpellier and Mont Ventoux, with a slope of 2,934 meters, promises changes in the general.
