UAE Executes Their Plan Perfectly | Tour de France 2025 Stage 6 | THEMOVE

Ben Healy delivered a masterclass solo breakaway to claim his first Tour de France stage win, outmuscling and outsmarting a formidable group of breakaway specialists.

Healy's attack came on a fast, grueling Stage 6 where the breakaway was exceptionally tough, with multiple top-tier riders fighting from the start. Despite high speeds and tactical plays by teams like UAE and Visma, Healy timed his move perfectly, surprising rivals by attacking on a less expected downhill and flat section.

The breakaway included two Americans and two Irish riders, showcasing strong American presence and aggressive racing. Healy's performance demonstrated not only physical strength but tactical intelligence by maintaining and extending his solo gap under intense pressure.

Lance Armstrong highlighted that all of Healy's major wins came from long solo efforts over 42.5 km, emphasizing his fearless and gutsy style. The stage's average speed was a punishing 45.7 km/h with significant elevation, underlining the toughness of this feat.
