Tour de France Stage 7 results, standings: Tadej Pogacar wins, reclaims yellow jersey
The defending champion and three-time winner of cycling's preeminent test sprinted past Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel and top contender Jonas Vingegaard near the finish line to win Stage 7 on Friday, July 11 and take back the overall lead at this year's Tour de France. Mathieu van der Poel of the Netherlands entered the race with the yellow jersey after finishing Stage 6 with a one-second lead over Pogačar, who was the pre-Tour favorite.
Stage 7 also featured a late crash involving multiple riders, most notably Pogačar's teammate with UAE Team Emirates XRG, João Almeida. Mattia Cattaneo, one of Evenepoel's teammates with Soudal Quick-Step, also withdrew from the race about 70 kilometers into Friday's 197-kilometer course from Saint-Malo to Mûr-de-Bretagne Guerlédan.

Pogačar also took over first place in the chase for the green jersey during Friday's stage win and moved closer to Belgium's Tim Wellens, another UAE Team Emirates XRG teammate who will enter Stage 8 on Saturday with the polka dot jersey as the best climber thus far at the 2025 Tour de France.

Real Madrid Are Set To Rival Paris Saint-Germain For This Liverpool Defender: Decent Fit For Alonso?
In a recent report, journalist Mark Brus claimed that Real Madrid are set to rival Paris Saint-Germain for Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate this summer. It has been mentioned that Los Blancos are keeping a keen eye on the France international in this transfer window. Konate's Impressive Form At Merseyside Last Season Konate enjoyed a decent run of form at the Merseyside club in the previous campaign when he put in a string of impressive performances at the heart of their defence. The 26-year-old made 42 appearances for Liverpool last season, scoring two goals and earning two assists in various competitions. The French talent was a solid presence on the defensive end of the field as he made 40 tackles, 29 blocks and 17 interceptions in the Premier League. He was even accurate when distributing possession from the back after completing 90.2% of his attempted passes in the English top flight (stats via His current contract at the Merseyside club will run out at the end of next season which could open the door for Los Blancos to sign him on the cheap this summer. LONDON, ENGLAND – APRIL 06: Ibrahima Konate of Liverpool controls the ball during the Premier League match between Fulham FC and Liverpool FC at Craven Cottage on April 06, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Is Konate A Decent Fit For Real Madrid Boss Xabi Alonso? Konate loves a tackle and has got the pace to make some recovering runs at the back when required. He can sense the danger well to make some timely interceptions for his side inside his half. The French sensation usually clears his lines when the opposition are on the offensive and is even proficient at playing his way out from the back. Standing at 1.94m, he can use his towering frame to dominate the opposition attackers in the air. We can expect Konate to add more bite and steel to Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso's defence. He is good enough to nail down a regular first-team spot at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium next season. At 26, Konate has his peak years ahead of him which makes him a great fit for Los Blancos to consider in this transfer window. However, he might need some time to adapt to life in La Liga football. Still, Alonso would be wise to try everything in his power to lure him to the Madrid club ahead of the new season.

Fresh Milan bid for Doue expected to be under 25m
Milan are expected to make a new offer to Strasbourg for right-back Guéla Doué, even if it is still well short of the €30m asking price. The 22-year-old emerged as the first choice for coach Max Allegri, who preferred to back off from Marc Pubill in favour of a raised bid for the Ivory Coast international. They have seen two previous proposals rejected, reported to be worth €15m and €20m plus bonuses. Guéla Doué is first choice for Milan MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 15: Rafael Leao of AC Milan battles for possession with Guela Doue of Stade Rennais FC during the UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Knockout Round Play-offs First Leg match between AC Milan and Stade Rennais FC at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on February 15, 2024 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Now suggest a new formal figure is being handed over worth just under €25m including add-ons. It is still quite a way off the asking price set by Strasbourg, which is at roughly €30m, but it does fit with the way that Milan have been working on the transfer market this summer. Doué was purchased by Strasbourg from Stade Rennes only last summer for €6m, so his value has already sky-rocketed in the space of 12 months. That is thanks to his performances last season, with one goal and two assists in 34 competitive games for Strasbourg.

Tour de France results: Race outlook after Thymen Arensman wins Stage 19
Thyman Arensman had a flair for the dramatic during the final mountain stage of the 2025 Tour de France. The Dutch rider passed Tour de France leaders Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard on the final climb up La Plagne in the French Alps to win Stage 19 on Friday, July 25. It was Arensman's second stage win in less than a week at this year's Tour de France and occurred on a shorter-than-expected course. Race officials announced Thursday the route had been cut down by about 30 kilometers, avoiding the Col de Saisies mountain pass due to a herd of diseased cattle that needed to be culled. It was nonetheless perhaps the last chance for Vingegaard to challenge Pogačar. Though Vingegaard crossed the finish line in second place, Pogačar rode in right behind him with none of his time advantage lost. With just two stages left in the 2025 edition of cycling's biggest event, Pogačar is closing in on his second-straight Tour de France title (and fourth overall) when the riders make their way down the Champs-Élysées in Paris on Sunday for the traditional finale.
