Over 50km/h for 174km 🤯 Stage 9 of the 2025 Tour de France was the race’s second fastest road stage 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿. Tim Merlier beat Jonathan Milan in a sprint finish, but only after the peloton had been forced into a frantic chase of Alpecin-Deceuninck duo Mathieu Van der Poel and Jonas Rickaert, who attacked from the gun. Van der Poel went solo with 6km to go and was only caught by the peloton inside the final 1km. 📸 Sprint Cycling #tourdefrance #cyclisme #procycling #cycling #mathieuvanderpoel
