Stage 15 Muret-Carcassonne 169.3km (Hilly)

Stage 15 of the Tour de France 2025 delivered a masterclass in breakaway brilliance and tactical misfires. On a lumpy 169 km route through southern France, Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) launched a daring solo attack with 40 km to go, holding off all chasers to claim his first Tour stage win—and complete his set of victories across all three Grand Tours.

Behind him, the peloton fractured early due to a crash, GC teams scrambled to regroup, and Julian Alaphilippe mistakenly celebrated third place as a win. With the GC battle neutralized and the sprinters dropped, it was a day for the opportunists—and Wellens seized it with style.
