A stage winner in Boulogne-sur-Mer and twice a yellow jersey wearer, Mathieu van der Poel now has another award to go with his list of achievements during the 2025 Tour de France – that of the most combative rider of the first 10 days.
The Tour took a break on Tuesday for its first rest day following a trip through the Massif Central on Bastille Day, and organisers held a fan vote on social media where the combativity award for the race's 'first week' would be determined.
