Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost) celebrates on the podium after winning stage 6

Stage 6 - Ben Healy launches long-range attack for solo victory / As it happened

Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost) used a surprise attack from the day's breakaway with 42km to go to win the first Tour de France stage of his career, riding solo across the line into Vire Normandie. From the eight-man group that got away on the 201.5km stage, Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) moved back into the leader's jersey, using his eighth-place finish to reclaim yellow from Tadej Pogačar by just one second.

Stage 5 - Remco Evenepoel uses pure power to win individual time trial while Tadej Pogačar moves into yellow jersey / As it happened

Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) started the stage 5 time trial as the favourite, and finished it as a winner, using his Olympic and world title-winning power to take victory on the 33km course in Caen. Finishing in second, Tadej Pogačar seized the race lead, now leading the overall by 16 seconds from Evenepoel. It was a bad day for Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), who ceded over a minute to his two main rivals and dropped down to fourth overall.

Stage 4 - Tadej Pogačar outduels Mathieu van der Poel and Jonas Vingegaard on hotly-contested sprint finish in Rouen / As it happened

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) sprinted to the 100th victory of his career on stage 4 of the Tour de France, outpacing race leader Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) to the line at the end of the uphill drag into Rouen. The pair went head-to-head once again on the 5% slope to the line, with Van der Poel launching the sprint before the world champion came around the outside to nip through and take the win with a sharp finishing acceleration.

Stage 3 - Tim Merlier delivers win in Dunkerque on messy flat stage scattered with crashes / As it happened

Tim Merlier (Soudal-QuickStep) took a second career stage win at the Tour de France on Monday, four years after his first, prevailing in a messy sprint. It was a photo finish between Merlier and Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) in Dunkerque, at the end of a day that had been fairly calm but then descended into chaos with a number of crashes in the final 3km. Yellow jersey Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) survived the damage to hold onto the overall lead, but his teammate Jasper Philipsen was not so lucky, crashing heavily at the intermediate sprint and having to abandon the race.

Stage 2 - Mathieu van der Poel holds off Tadej Pogačar to win in Boulogne-sur-Mer / As it happened

For the second day in a row, Alpecin-Deceuninck reigned supreme as Mathieu van der Poel outsprinted Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), while for a second day in a row, too, the GC battle continued unabated. On a series of short, punchy climbs late on, 26 riders opened up a gap on the rest of the peloton, with Pogačar coming within inches of his 100th career win after trading blows with Vingegaard. While Pogačar moved into the mountains jersey lead, he, Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) and Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) all gained 30 seconds on more on the remainder of the GC contenders.

Stage 1 - Jasper Philipsen prevails to seize first yellow jersey as Evenepoel loses time in crosswind chaos / As it happened

Jasper Philipsen won a reduced bunch sprint after a late echelon attack inspired by Visma-Lease a Bike left key contenders Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglič trailing by 39 seconds. Whilst the Alpecin-Deceuninck racer celebrated his tenth Tour stage victory and first spell in the lead, both Jonas Vingegaard and arch-rival Tadej Pogačar made gains on their GC rivals at the first day possible. Meanwhile former double World Time Trial Champion Filippo Ganna crashed badly and was forced to abandon.
