Race Recap
Kaden Groves Rides to Historic Solo Victory in Rain-Soaked Jura Stage
In a wet and undulating 184.2-kilometer ride from Nantua to Pontarlier, Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck) claimed solo victory on the penultimate stage of the 2025 Tour de France. The Australian powered away from a reduced breakaway group with just under 17 kilometers remaining and held his lead to the line, becoming the 114th rider in history to win a stage in all three Grand Tours.
Groves attacked decisively after the Côte de Longeville, a 2.5-kilometer climb crested with 22 kilometers to go. Despite relentless chasing from Frank van den Broek (Picnic PostNL) and Jake Stewart (Israel-Premier Tech), Groves increased his gap on the rain-slicked roads and finished 54 seconds ahead of Van den Broek. Pascal Eenkhoorn (Soudal Quick-Step) took third at +59 seconds, followed closely by Simone Velasco (Astana-Qazaqstan) and Romain Grégoire (Groupama-FDJ), both at +1:04.
The chaotic day featured multiple breakaway attempts, several crashes—including one that took down Iván Romeo (Movistar)—and nearly 2,900 meters of elevation gain, most of it in the early part of the stage. Harrison Sweeny (EF Education-EasyPost) was among the most aggressive riders and was deservedly named the most combative.
Tadej PogaÄŤar (UAE Team Emirates) finished safely in the peloton, nearly six minutes behind the winner, and retains his commanding lead in the general classification heading into Sunday's ceremonial finale in Paris. Barring incident, PogaÄŤar is poised to win his fourth Tour de France title.
The final stage begins Sunday at 4:10 p.m. CEST in Mantes-la-Ville and concludes 132.3 kilometers later on the iconic Champs-Élysées. A new wrinkle awaits the sprinters: the Côte de la Butte Montmartre, a cobbled 1.1-kilometer climb at 5.9%, summits just 6.1 kilometers from the finish.
