It includes some early climbs that will inspire the attackers but should suit the sprinters who survive🦩.

We'll have more news, reaction and analysis f꧂rom Alasdair Fotheringham and Matilda P🦹rice in France and from our global team in the hours ahead.

To understand exactly what happened during stage 16 to Mont Ventoux, read James Moultrie's full stage report. It has the story on how the break formed at high speed, how they stayed away and how Vingegaard attacked Pogačar four times on the slopes of Ventoux.

It was an high-speed, tactical battle on the road to Mont V📖entoux and then to the summit finish. These are the stage highlights.

Pogačar seems ready for more attacks from Vingegaard in the Alps

"We'll race until Paris and we'll see who will be the winner. Today was a proper hard day after the rest day for me. I've got good motivation 🌠for the next few days," he said.

Tadej Pogačar admitted that he did suffer at some points during the stage, probably when Vingegaard attacked him on the Ventoux.

Today Jonas really tried. They worked very well as a team together and paced the climb super well. Luckily I didn't have the same legs as 2021, so it was a good performance from my side and I kept the yellow jersey," Pogačar said, refering to the 2012 Tour when Vingegaard hurt him.

"There were of course some points where Iꦇ was suffering but today was one cli𝓀mb, one effort and it was more or less full effort from the bottom to the finish line. I think the next few days will be more and more tiring for the body."

Valentin Paret-Peintre (Soudal-Quick Step) spoke to Fr🧔ench television after his victory.

"It's extraordin💧ary, but that wasn't the pl🌃an!" he said.

♈"I really thought that Pogacar was going to want tꦜo win and that he was going to lock down the race. I said to myself that if there was a big group, why not be in it but I wasn't really focused on the start, telling myself that today, it was for the breakaway."

Paret-Peintre realised he haꦯd a chance of victory when he saw who was with him in the breakaway.

"When we found ourselves in front with Sivakov and another guy from UAE, I told myself that they had put two guys in front and that they were going to want to play with the breakaway, so we were going to take🥀 the field and try to play🦋 for the victory," he said.

"I felt really good, I had two teammates and I told them that in this group, I really had my chanc𝔉es to win."

Paret-Peintre was very emotional.

"I can't 💎believe it! A vict🌌ory on the Tour is extraordinary but on Mont Ventoux, it's something else again.

"That's what I was saying to myself in the final. Ben Healy was really strong with his attacks, but I was telling myself that𓄧 it was a victory on Ventoux.

"You can't give up, even in the last 100 mജeters to overtak𝓀e him, I really struggled but I said to myself 'You have to do it, you can't give up!'"

These aღre the♐ top 10 from stage 16 of the Tour de France.

Vingegaard confirmed that he is feeling stronger and promised to keep taking the race to Tadej Pogačar.

"I was feelin🐼g very good today, so happy with the feeling today,ಌ and happy with the attacks I tried to do," he said.

"I didn't gain any time today bဣut I take a lot of motivation today."

"We wanted to have somebody in the break, and the team did really amazing today. Eveꦫrybody worked with everything they had. It was really a commitment from everyone, and everyone was doing super great. So thank you to all my teammates."

"He (Pogačar) followed me every time I attacked, and I followed him when he attacked. So I don't know if I could see any any weaknesses today. But at least it gives me some motivation how good I felt today.

"And as I said earlier, I will keep trying."

Jonas Vingegaa💯rd stopped to speak post stage and revealed he had crashed. beyond the🌃 finish.

"Some photographer were just ran straight ou🐽t of in front of me, straight after the finish line. I don't 🐻know what he was doing," he said.

🎃"I went down. I think people in the finish area, they shou♑ld use their eyes a bit more."

Tadej Pogačar pulled on a new yellow jersey on the podium and then also took the polka-dot mountains jersey.

We saw a tense and tactical battle for the stage victory, a first French stage winner, and then Vingegaard attacking Pogačar four times!

The UAE rider leads bꩵy over four minutes but Vingegaard seems determined to𝓡 fight all the way to Paris.

Wow, as the dust settles on the stage, it's difꦏficulℱt take it all in.

This image is emblematic of the Tadej Pogačar- Jonas Vingegaard battle on the stage and at this year's Tour.

This is the first image of Vale🔯ntin Paret-Peintre realising he ♒had won on Mont Ventoux.

Vingagaard says after the stage that a photographer ran in front of him after the finish and caused him to cr🍸ash. He was not happy.

The provisional stage results shows that Pogacar gained two seconds on Ving🔜egaad on the surge to the fin💖ish on Ventoux.

Ben Healy lea♔d out the sprint to the finish but Valentin Paret-Peintre was able to follow him and then kick paꦿst him before the line.

That's a huge win by🎶 Vale🐲ntin Paret-Peintre and rightly celebrates with teammate Ilan Van Wilder, who came back to help him in the final kilometre.

Primoz Roglic escorts Lipowicz to the🎉 finish to help him strengthen his third plac𓆉e on GC.

Sprint to the summit!

But the race for the stage win ﷺexplodes! Heal♉y attacks first.

The gap to Vingegaa💟rd and Pogacar is only 35 s✨econds.

2km to go

Valentin Pꩵaret-Peintre attacks Ben🍸 Healy but the EF rider responds.

Watch out guys, Vingeggard and Tadej Pogačar are only 1:50 behind.

The cross winds ꦓon the exposed sectors of Ventoux will play a huge role in decid🌠ing the stage winner and the GC battle.

Tadej Pogačar is able to get on his wheel and they blast up the lower exposed slopes of Ventoux.

Attack number 3 by Vingegaard!

Healy attacks!

Valentin Paret-Peintre goes w﷽ith him but they can't hold back and🎉 play games.

Ben Healy and Valentin Paret-Peintre join Enric Mas but race radio shouts out that Vingagaard and Tadej Pogačar are only 2:40 behind.

They're closing in fast.

5km to go

With 5kmᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ to go, Enric Mas leads the Healy grou𓂃p by just 25 seconds. Did he go too early?

Behind Victor Campenaerts is here to pace Vingegaard and Pogačar for a moment. Visma are rolling out some excellent tactics for Vingegaard. Can he finish it off and distance Tadej Pogačar?

Tadej Pogačar responds and sits on his wheel.

Their speed and attacks has reduc🍬ed the gap to Mas to just 3:♏20.

Attack number 2 from Vingegaard!

All of this when the riders are still in the trees. 🅠They still have to climb pass Chalet Reynard.

Suddenly the gap to mas is only 4:00 as Tiesj Benoot falsl back from the break to pace Vingegaard and Pogačar.

Tadej Pogačar is able to go with him but for a moment seeme to be suffering.

Boom! Vingegaard attacks!

7km to go

Hea💃ly is leading the chase of Mas and thew gap is falling.

Behind the GC group is at 5:00.

Attack by Carlos Rodriguez from the GC group. This is interest𒉰ing as he fights to climb up the GC from ninth.

Up front, Mas powers on, as Healy, Paret-Peintre and Buitrago cl♛ose the gap to Alaphilippe and Arensman.

Mas will have to go all out, all the way to the summit finish to win the st✤age.

In the a🍷bsence of Jorgenson, Kuss is doing a superb job for Vingegaard.

Pogačar only has Adam Yates with him.

Enric Mas pushes on and♈ extends his to 45 seconds on Are🧜nsman and Alaphilippe.

The Healy group is at 1:20, with the Pogačar GC group of just ten riders at 5:10.

10km to go

The riders▨ have done a third of Mont Ventoux but still face 10km, with the final kilometres exposed in the wind and sun.

Kuss 🌠is hurting everyone in the GC group. Felix Gall (Decathlon) has been dropped, so has Ben O'Connor (Jayco).

It seems difficult for the Pogačar GC group to catch Mas but we can still expect attacks.

Will Vingeggard hurt Pogačar or will the yellow jersey again impose his authority on the race and is big rivald?

The peloton is at 5:40, wi🎉th Visma leading with Kuss and Simon Yates.

Matteo Jorgenson was reportedly dropped before the start of the climb. Pogačar has Wellens with him and just one other UAE rider.

Arensman 🀅and Alaphilippe are trying to stay close to Mas but his gap is at 20 second🌠s.

🐠Su💎ddenly there was just one: Enric Mas (Movistar) surges clear.

Now there are three: only Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor), Thyman Arensman (Ineos Grenadiers), Enric Mas (Movistar) are up front▨, che♔ered along by the huge crowds.

This is the profile of Mont Ventoux. It shows the hard, ﷽constant gradient but does not show the re🐎al difficulty of the climb.

The fast pace is hurting ༒everyone. Matteo Jorgenson is suffering🍬 in the peloton.

15.7km to go

The climb of Mont Ventoux officially begins now.

And then there were four: only Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor), Simone Velasco (Asta𝓰na-XDS), Enric Mas (Movistar) and Thyman Arensman (Ineos G🤪renadiers) are left up front.

He is soon caught but the race for the ꦫstage victory is on.

As the l🎃ower slopes of Ventoux start to bite, Trentin is dropped. Soon after LouLou Alahpillippe accelerates.

20km to go

The seven attackers are just 20km from the fini♉sh now but 15.7km are the climb to the Mont Ventoux summit.

The stage is about to change dramatically.

Jackie Tyson is a C🅘yclingnews North American Production edꦬitor and describes Mont Ventoux as the 'Beauty and beast' after riding to the summit a few years ago.

This is the final corner that leads 🐬to the finish line at the very summit of Mont Ventoux.

Matilda Price is at the summit of Mont Ventoux for Cyclingnews to ca𓃲pture all the rider reaction and atmosphere of the stage.

The publicity c🔯aravan has jus🌳t passed and the crowds are growing.

25km to go

Nils Politt is doing all the worꦏk on the front of the peloton for UAE bu🎀t the gap is growing and is now 6:40.

However the Healy, Buitrago group ꦛis losing ground and is 1:40 down.

This could be a historic chance f🌞or Enric Mas or Julian Alaphi🌞lippe.

Fred Wright (Bahrain Victorious)✤ flatted and so dropped back from the seven-rider attack to help his teammate and💯 great climber Santiago Buitrago.

40km to go

The Pogačar peloton is at 6:00 now. Can he really close the that gap to Alaphilippe and Mas on Mont Ventoux?

50km to go

🦄There are 50km to go nd so 35km to ride before the start o🍃f the climb fo Mont Ventoux.

Jonas Rickaert and Emiel Verstrynge (Alpecin-Deceuninck) h𝔉ave joined the attackers, only to discover there are seven riders up the road. That's the hard life of the Tour de France breakaways.

Eenkhoorn has dropped back and so Wright, Arensman, Alaphilippe, Trentin, Mas, Velasco and Abrahamsen are up the road, with a 3ꦺ0-second gap on the chasಌers from the attack, that includes Ben Healy.

The peloton is at 5:00. It could be a sign that Tadej Pogačar is ready to let the break fight for the stage victory.

Jonas Abrahamsen𝓡 wins the intermediate sprint, with only V🌸elasco trying to beat him.

60km to go

The riders are near the R🐻hône Valley now and know there is a risk of cross winds.

Julian Alaphilippe was not happy with many rid💝ers in the attack not working nd so has sparked an attack with his Tudor teammate Matteo Trentin.

Alaphilippe, Trentin, Mas, 💧Velasco, Eenkhoorn, Wright, Arensman and Abrahamsen have jumped away in an interesting move.

Is this a sign that Jul💝ian Alaphilippe wants to try to win t✃he stage?

The intermediate sprint is coming up in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the area famous for 𒉰Rhône red w✱ines.

Jonathan Milan and Biniam Girmay tried to jump across to the atta𓂃ck but soon realised they had missed the move andf so eased up.

Their chance will come on stage 17♌ to Valence and so it is wise to rest up for Wedn🐼esday.

The a🐼verage speed for the stag so far is a p𓆏ainful 49.8 km/h.

Jonas Ri𝄹ckaert and Emiel Verstrynge (Alpecin-Deceuninck) are trying to cross to the big attack bu🍌t are at 30 seconds.

Th🦂e 36 ahead are not waiting for them, with Politt and Red Bull on the front of the peloto💮n behind them.

90km to go

There are now 36 riders in the move, after some late, desp🦋erate attackers go🐻t across.

This is the list:

UAE Team Emirates-XRG: Sivakov, Soler

The peloton has eased once again, with Politt riding🐬 tempo on the front. Visma are lined🦋 out behind him, with Vingegaard visible in the line.

There are 34 rid꧑eᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrs in the attack, including Mas, Arensman and Healy.

Ben Healy of EF has sneaked into the a🔜ttack and tha🅠t has made other riders and teams unhappy.

90km to go

The peloton eases again and so꧋ the attackers have a lead of 1:00. Will it stick? Is this the move?

Ben Healy, Enric Mas, Michael Woods, Ilan V༺an Wilder, Ewen Cosജtiou, Pavel Sivakov and Marc Soler are in the attack but their leas is only 25 seconds.

The race is in a slightly hillier sector and that is helping the riders get awa�🌞�y.

The counter-attacks are still flowing and still ♛chasing the race. There will be some tired legs when the riders get even to the bottom of Mont Ventoux.

It'🍷s no surprise to see Lenny Martinez at the back of the peloton aft꧅er all the intense, high-seed racing.

Marc Hirschi and Marco Haller (Tudor) and Xandr♏o Meurisse (Alpecin-Deceuninck) are still up front but they have been joined by a qua✨lity group of riders.

100km to go

The peloton 🌃can see and almost touch Marc Hirschi and Marco Haller (Tudor) and Xandro Meurisse (Alpecin-ꦺDeceuninck).

And now Van Aert is on the front. We are suဣrely going to see a change in the race very soon.

Back to the racing and despite Politt's pressure, the peloton is closing the ⛎g☂ap on the trio.

We also like this shot of Tadej Pogačar, he has left his rivals seeing double so far in this Tour.

We wanted to share this great shot from the start in Montpellier. This is the Tour de France and wജe expected huge crowds on Mont Ventoux.

105km to go

Nils Politt is 'bossing' the counter-attackers. He is chasing them down but also ✨exchanging words.

The riders ꦬpass through the first feed zone, with their staff hol♑ding out bidons and musettes.

They raced fast and hard from the start.

He𝕴re are Marc Hirschi and Marco Haller🌠 (Tudor) and Xandro Meurisse (Alpecin-Deceuninck) on the attack.

Mauro Schmid and Luke Plapp of Jayco try to go across the gap🦩 but UAE closing them down to𝓡 control the racing.

Almost everyone in the peloton seems happyဣ for the drop in speed. The GC riders a🐻nd climbers can relax, fuel and prepare for Mont Ventoux.

115km to go

Tadej Pogačar's presence seems to have worked, the peloton has eased and the gap to the trio is up to 1:20. He also stopped for a natural break and that also slowed the attackers, as they respected the unwritten rule of never to attack when the race leader has stopped.

UAE are on the front, with Tadej Pogačar also shoeing his yellow jersey and presence to persuade riders to ease up and stop the attacks.

120km to go

The peloton is 𓆉back together but has reduced the gap to 30 seconds. UAE seem keen to stop or at least deter more attac🔯ks.

Good luck with that.

There are 30 or so riders in a chase grou𒁃p. This could be the move.

We spoke too soon. Other riders are now trying to jump across to the atꦜtackers.

51.9km/h.

That's the average spee🦋d for the first hour of racing.

The peloton has sloweꦑd again, as Alexandre Delettre (Total Energꦍies) tries to go across to the trio.

He is 40 seconds down, as the p𒊎eloton is timed at 1:10.

For a moment th𒆙e peloton eased and UAE seemed to control things but then TotalEnergies kicked-off the attacks once more.

We can see Tadej Pogačar in the middle of the peloton. He is happy to follow the wheels for now.

132km to go

Marc Hirschi and Marco Haller (Tudor) and Xandro Meurisse 𝓰(Alpecin-Deceuninck) are still clear but seem to be tiring. Th🅠ey've been out front for a fast 30 minutes now and are surely suffering.

The peloton is refusing to let them go.

It's🙈 been a fast and hot start to the stage, so riders are already dropꦛping back to team car to take on bidons.

Movistar, Israel and Astana are all very active as they try to get♉ riders in the break.

It's interesting to see Primoz Roglic is🅷 at the back of the peloton.

As soon as we note down the count✱er-attackers, they're caught by the p🃏eloton.

140km to go

A number of other riders are coming across to the trio, using a short climb as ꦺa launch pad.

But the peloton is still lined out.

It's fascinꦇating to see how Tudor riderꦐs are trying to block the chase by sitting on the wheels and following the wheels.

Marc Hirschi and Marco Haller (Tudor) and Xandr🐲o Meurisse (Alpecin-Deceuninck) are pushing on but the chasers canಌ see them.

Wout Van Aert calls his team car as Valentin Madouas also needs service and a new rear wheel ꩲfrom his Groupama cꦦar.

Multiple teams are trying to get across to the trio and 🔯so the gap is falling. It is just 10 seconds now.

The riders are blasting through the stunning Provence countryꦯside, with fields of viꦓnes, small villages and twisting road.

The speed is super high, with the attackers rolling at close to 60km/෴h as they try to establish a gap.

There only hope is that the pelot🎉on eases but that seems unlikely with so many teams trying to get into thꦯe action.

Interestingly Vis🐷ma are also chasing the moves at the head of the pel𝓀oton.

The chasers are chasinꦿg down each other in classic early racing tactics.

155km to go

H✨aller is trying to drag Hirschi away and the gap is up to 20 seconds.

Marc Hirschi and Marco Haller 💛(Tudor) are away, with Xandr♏o Meurisse (Alpecin-Deceuninck) but other riders are chasing them.

We have a first breakaway, as three riders go clear. The peloton seems to b🃏e hesitating.

The 🍷peloton iꦦs a huge swarm of attacking riders as the moves are launched and quickly chased.

Lenny Martinez (Bahrain Victorious) ꦜis among the many riders trying to break away in these first kilometres.

We can see Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor) there too.

160km to go

There are mo⭕re attacks ands more chases as the stage starts faster, super fast.

Milan is trying to get into the break because the int🌌ermediate sprint is🌄 after 112km of mostly flat racing.

That, plus other riders trying to win the stage and even more trying to plant riders for the climb of Mont Ventoux, means a lot o♍f riders are on the attack.

Interestingly the sprinter🥃s and even Jonathan Mil﷽an are in the early attacks.

2021 stage winner Wout Van Aert is one of the first riders to go on the 🔯attack.

Allez! Here we go. Christian Prudhomme waves the♏ flag and stage 16 to Mont Ventoux is underway.

A series of roundabouts keeps splitting the peloton, only raising 🧸the tꦆension.

The riders ready to attack early are pack⛦ed 🐠tight close to the back of the red car. Watch for them to jump away as soon as the flag drops in 3km.

The 2025 edition of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France will mark the 19th time that the peloton will r♋ace up Mont Ventoux, the so-called 'Giant of Provence' because it dominates the landscape of he area.

In this special fe💦ature, we have all the statistics and stories behind the mythical mountain in Provence which returns for stage 16.

For now, the riders arღe tucked in the slipstream of the red race director's car.

When the flag drops, in around 10km of steady 𓃲riding, the stage will official start and the first attacks will probably come.

Cruelly, the rid💞es face a neutralised ride of 13.2km to the official start outside of the city.

C'est parti!

The mayor waves the flag and the 🎀riders roll out of Montpellier.

As usual, all the jersey wearers line-up on the front of the start grid. There is time for a final smile and s𝓀elfie but now it's race time.

1 minute to the depart!

The riders are lined up for the start of 🅺stage 16.

We've been carefully s🍸tudying the weather for the stage.

It's between 25 and 28 °C in Montpellier and sunny, with little wind.

The windꦛ is expected to increase as the riders near and th🐲en cross the Rhône valley.

Temperatures at the 1910 m altitude finish should be between 18 and 23 °C.

Next up and last up on the sign-on stage is Tadej Pogačar, with UAE Team Emirates-XRG teammates.

He seems happy and healthy after admittingꦚ he had been suffering with a slight cold.

"It's a legendary climb, there's no shelter on the tip, so that means the legs will do the talki𝄹ng.," he said of M✨ont Ventoux.

Montpellier is a stage town for the 33rd ti🍌me and has hoste🌞d 30 Tour de France finishes, most of them won by sprinters.

Recent victories have gone to Robbie McEwen in 2005, Robbie Hunter, who became the first African stage win😼ner there in 2007, Mark Cavendish in 2011 and 👍André Greipel in 2013.

During the race’s last visit in 2016, green jersey Peter Sa♈gan broke away from the peloton with🌄 12km to go and was followed by race leader Chris Froome, who subsequently consolidated his hold on first place in the overall classification.

Lenny Martinez also signs on with his Bahrain Victorious teammates. He is weari♏ng the polka-dot mountains jersey and perhaps the best hope for a French stage win in this year's Tour.

Martinez won his first pro race ⭕on Ventoux iౠn 2023.

He may have to join a breakaway today or attack early to win but it will be fascinating to see what he can do on M🌜ont Ventoꦅux.

Jonas Vingegaard signed on with a smile but spoke with a quiꩲet voice.

"We had a nice rest day, res💫ting and recovering a bit. Now ღwe're ready for today. It's one of the most iconic mountains in the Tour de France history," he said.

The Tour still has three big mountain stages,ಌ so we'll keep fighting to the very end."

We're just 30 ♉minutes to the start of the stage and riders ware s😼igning on in Montpellier.

Ineos Grenadiers have just been on stage and now it's time for Visma. It will be fascinati🅷ng to see what tactics they opt for today.

Tuesday began with news that Mathieu van der Poel has been forced out of the Tour after ဣbeing diagnosed with pneumonia following hospital examinations.

He joined a short coffeꦏe ride during Monday's rest day to show off his commemorative Merci Poupou replica jersey, promoting the charity named after his grandfather, but he was already strugg🎀ling with illness.
