Van der Poel Takes Yellow Jersey at Tour

News summary

Mathieu van der Poel won Stage 2 of the 2025 Tour de France with a strong hilltop sprint in Boulogne-sur-Mer, overtaking Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard and claiming the yellow jersey from teammate Jasper Philipsen. Van der Poel's win prevented Pogacar from achieving his 100th career victory, while Pogacar and Vingegaard now sit second and third overall. Philipsen, the Stage 1 winner, now leads the points classification and will wear the green jersey. The opening stages have been marked by challenging weather, sharp climbs, and chaos from crosswinds and crashes, causing time losses for favorites like Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic. Filippo Ganna and Stefan Bissegger have abandoned the race due to crashes. The Cofidis team also reported the overnight theft of 11 bikes, further adding to the drama.
