That’s all for today … Thanks for joining me and for all the emails. It’s been great seeing your message, hearing where you’re watching the Tour from and seeing your pictures. The Tour de France 2025 is officially under way and that was a fun first stage to cover.
The Guardian’s live coverage of the Tour is back tomorrow, so please join then. I will be back on the TdF blog on Monday, so also come back and see me.

'I could not have dreamed this': Jasper Philipsen on wearing the yellow jersey after stage one win
Today’s stage winner Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) has been chatting to reporters after his victory. He said:
It was a perfect team performance; we were there all day in a really nervous stage, and we knew we had to be at the front when the split happened. The team was amazing, and I just had to finish it off.
On winning the maillot jaune after stage one of the Tour de France 2025, Philipsen said:
I could not have dreamed about this – wearing the yellow jersey and having something like that hanging in my house is going to be amazing.
