Tour de France Stage 6 | The Sir Wiggo & Johan Show

Ben Healy delivered an extraordinary solo stage win at the 2025 Tour de France by breaking away from a strong eight-rider breakaway when nobody expected it.

Healy's ability to anticipate attacks and time his move perfectly made him a master of seizing the moment, despite not being the fastest climber or best sprinter.

Johan Bruyneel described Healy's attack about 40 km from the finish on a tough hilly course with around 3,300 meters of elevation as mind-blowing, with Healy finishing over two minutes ahead of his breakaway companions.

Bradley Wiggins highlighted Healy's class and the emotional significance of his victory, noting that Healy grew up dreaming of winning a Tour stage and achieved it in style against elite competition like Mathieu van der Poel.

The win was a culmination of Healy's tactical insight and resilience, capitalizing on fatigue in the breakaway and the heavy workload on the favorite van der Poel.
