Tour De France Stage 14: Thymen Arensman Wins After Long Solo Effort; Tadej Pogacar Increases Lead

Dutch rider Thymen Arensman won the Tour de France’s toughest stage after a long solo effort over mammoth climbs and defending champion Tadej Pogacar increased his overall lead on Saturday (July 19, 2025). Arensman, who rides for the Ineos-Grenadiers team, posted the biggest victory of his career. After crossing the finish line in the deep fog enveloping the ski resort of Superbagneres, Arensman lay exhausted on the road with his head in his hands. It was Arensman’s second Grand Tour stage win, having previously won a stage at the 2022 Spanish Vuelta.
