Tim Merlier won stage nine of the Tour de France 2025 in a sprint finish after Mathieu van der Poel’s hopes of an audacious breakaway victory were dashed inside the final kilometre. Van der Poel and his Alpecin-Deceuninck team-mate Jonas Rickaert attacked at the start of the 174.1 km run from Chinon to Chateauroux and the Dutch former world champion produced a gutsy effort that just fell short of delivering his second win in this year’s race. #shorts #cycling #cyclingshots #cyclingphotos #cyclinglife #win #sprint #tadejpogacar #merlier #pogacar #vanderpoel #yellowjersey #tourdefrance #tdf #tourdefrance2025 #tdf2025
