Remco Evenepoel Wins Penultimate Stage, Romain Grégoire Retains Tour of Britain Lead

Remco Evenepoel won the penultimate stage of the 2025 Tour of Britain, triumphing on the challenging Tumble climb and out-sprinting Britain's Thomas Gloag and Oscar Onley. Despite his victory, Evenepoel remains two seconds behind race leader Romain Gregoire, who held onto his narrow overall lead after finishing fifth in the stage. The final stage, a 112.2km race from Newport to Cardiff, will decide the overall winner, featuring the last day of racing for Welsh former Tour de France champion Geraint Thomas. Evenepoel, returning after illness and injury forced him out of the Tour de France, expressed motivation to win the race as a confidence boost following his recent struggles. The stage saw aggressive moves and attacks from riders such as Pavel Sivakov, Oscar Onley, and Afonso Eulalio, but Evenepoel's team and sprinting prowess secured the stage victory. The race finale promises a thrilling showdown for the leader's green jersey between Gregoire and Evenepoel.
