Belgian Tim Merlier won the seventh stage of the Tour de France 2026 in a sprint finish at the end of a 175-kilometer run from Hagetmau to Bordeaux on Friday.

Norwegian Soren Waerenskjold took second place, with Eritrean Biniam Girmay third, as reigning champion Tadej Pogačar held onto the race leader's yellow jersey.

In a relatively uneventful day in southwest France, when the temperatures reached 38C in Bordeaux, Merlier timed his effort to perfection, reeling in compatriot Jasper Philipsen and Girmay to secure a clear victory.

Asked if it was a perfect sprint, Merlier said: "I don't know, because I launched my sprint with, I don't know how far it was.

"It was a mess to be in position, but I made it, thanks to the team, it was great work from them."

Philipsen's Alpecin-Premier Tech team seemed to have set up the 10-time Tour stage winner perfectly for his dash to the line, but he simply did not have the straight line speed to hold off Merlier.

Philipsen was fifth behind German Max Kanter in fourth, while Dane Mads Pedersen retained his lead in the sprinters' green jersey points competition after finishing eighth.

The overall contenders all finished safely in the peloton.

Breakaway Doomed In Tour de France 2026 Stage 7

It was another day with a breakaway doomed from the start, and few riders showing an interest in being a part of it.

Frenchman Baptiste Veistroffer escaped from the chequered flag for the second time in three days.

Having ridden 144 kilometers alone Wednesday, this time he had Czech Jakub Otruba for company.

The sprinters' teams were not prepared to take any risks and never let the duo get more than a minute and a half up the road.

They were caught with 18 kilometers left after 156 kilometers out in front - meaning that Veistroffer had spent 300 kilometers in breakaways over the last three days.

"After all the work two days ago and today, we were the only team with Alpecin who were riding to bring the breakaway back, so I'm happy that it's not another team who won," said Merlier of the Soudal-Quick Step team.

Uno-X Mobility, whose rider Torstein Traeen had worn the yellow jersey for two days before a crash Thursday forced him out of the race, repeatedly launched attacks to try to escape off the front of the peloton, but to no avail.

Stages to Bordeaux - the heart of perhaps the most famous wine region in France - are renowned for inding in bunch sprints.

Great former sprinters such as Mark Cavendish, Jean-Paul van Poppel and Djamolidine Abdoujaparov have won stages in Bordeaux.

Philipsen had won in Bordeaux, too. He beat Cavendish into second in 2023, the last time the Tour had a stage finish in the city.

Bordeaux is the second-most visited French city by the Tour after the capital, Paris.

This was the 81st time a stage finish in the city. The first was in the very first edition of the Tour in 1903.
