Ireland’s Ben Healy soloed to victory on stage six of the Tour de France as Mathieu van der Poel took the yellow jersey back from Tadej Pogacar by a single second.
Healy went alone from an eight-strong breakaway group with 42km left of the deceptively difficult 201.5km stage from Bayeux to Vire Normandie, claiming his first career Tour stage win and Ireland’s first since Sam Bennett enjoyed two in 2020.
