Dutch rider Thymen Arensman climbed to victory on the grueling Stage 14 of the Tour de France 2025 in the Pyrenees on Saturday, as defending champion Tadej Pogacar extended his overall race lead.

Double Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel, who had been third overall, pulled out of the race on the day's first climb, the daunting 2180m altitude Tourmalet.

As the disappointed Belgian Soudal Quick-Step rider left the race, Arensman attacked on the third of four mountains on a colossal climb day, while Slovenian Pogacar outsprinted Jonas Vingegaard for second place, just over a minute behind the winner.

Crossing the line in the mist at 1840m altitude, Arensman flung himself to the ground exhausted after taking a first win on this Tour for British team Ineos.

"After all that effort, it was beautiful to win," Arensman said. "I was focused on trying to get in the breakaway and, luckily, I had good legs today." 

The 25-year-old produced a virtuoso climb amidst suffocating packs of near-hysterical fans who had waited all day for the peloton to pass.

Behind him, Pogacar fought off a string of attacks from his arch rival Vingegaard on a day the Slovenian never looked like attacking for the win.

Winner of the past two stages, Pogacar pounced for the line from 50 meters with his trademark kick, gaining another six seconds on the Dane.

Pogacar, overall race winner in 2020, 2021 and 2024, leads Vingegaard by 4 minutes, 13 second, with Florian Lipowitz moving into third place at 7 minutes, 53 seconds.

Pogacar praised Arensman as "the strongest of the breakaway and strongest of the race."

"That was one hell of a ride from him," said the race leader. "You could only see 20m ahead. I was quite scared racing down the Tourmalet. I was behind Arensman, and he just disappeared into the fog."

Biathlon To White Jersey

Lipovitz rode on Pogacar's wheel until Vingegaard, who won Tour titles in 2022 and 2023, had attacked late on.

The 25-year-old Red Bull rider Lipowitz took the best young rider's white jersey and is a rising force in cycling, which he came to late after switching from the winter sport biathlon, a mixture of shooting and cross-country skiing.

"When I came here, I had no pretensions of taking the white jersey, so I'm really happy," said the quietly spoken 6-foot-4 (1.93m) German. "The crowds were so encouraging, it makes you want to ride faster."

Evenepoel's premature exit, meanwhile, came following Friday's stamina-sapping uphill time trial.

"Today in the morning, I could feel I was empty, and on the climb, the legs just weren't there," said Evenepoel, a fan favorite. "It's a pity, but you need to be 110% to win this race."

Evenepoel had won the Stage 5 time trial and, but for a blunder on Day 1, would likely have at least worn the yellow jersey at some stage of the first week.

"It really sucks for the Tour to lose someone like him," Pogacar said.

Ireland's Ben Healy, who did wear yellow for two days, climbed back up to ninth place. The EF rider, who arrived in the Pyrenees in the lead but suffered badly on the first climb, rode all day on Stage 14 with the Pogacar clique.

Frenchman Lenny Martinez led over the first three mountains and has the polka dot King of the Mountains jersey.

After three days in the Pyrenees, the riders next have a hilly Stage 15 over 169.3 kilometers from Muret to the medieval fortified town of Carcassonne.
