Oscar Onley Rises Top 10 Tour de France After Multiple Stage Podiums

Oscar Onley, the 22-year-old Scottish cyclist riding for Picnic-PostNL, has emerged as a surprise contender in the 2025 Tour de France, consistently challenging top riders like Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard with multiple top-10 stage finishes. After standout performances including a third place on the Mur-de-Bretagne climb and a sixth-place finish on the Hautacam, Onley currently sits sixth overall and is targeting a stage win before the race concludes. His bike, a newly revealed Lapierre Xelius DRS 'SL' model with weight-saving modifications, supports his strong form in the race. Meanwhile, Irish rider Ben Healy, who has a deep personal connection to Ireland through his grandmother, has claimed the yellow jersey, becoming the first Irish rider to do so in 38 years by leveraging strategic breakaway attacks. Both riders exemplify a mix of youthful talent and tactical acumen shaping this year's Tour de France competition. Onley's team remains focused on safeguarding his position and aiming for success in the remaining stages.
