Tour de France - will Pogacar regain yellow jersey on stage seven?
Update: Date: 127km to go Title: Who's in the breakaway? Content: The breakaway has settled. The gap is now up to one minute 30 seconds. So who's in it? Update: Date: 12:56 BST Title: It's 50-50 whether the breakaway will go - Thomas Content: Geraint Thomas was asked before today's stage about the potential of getting into the breakaway. "We've just got to keep trying," said the Ineos Grenadiers rider. "I was just not very good yesterday. I've just been a bit up and down really, so it's a bit frustrating. Today's a new day and we go again. "I think Axel [Laurance] will sit in and wait for the final and a few others will wait for the break. I think today is 50-50, we're not quite sure whether the breakaway will go or not, but as soon as the race starts you kind of get a feel, for who wants it to go and who wants it to not go." Update: Date: 135km to go Title: Post Content: UAE's Marc Soler is trying to control the bunch and has got it back to within 50 seconds of the breakaway. Update: Date: 138km to go Title: Post Content: The gap is up to over a minute as the breakaway comes through the town of Dinan, with Bruno Armirail of French team Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale trying to bridge. Update: Date: 141km to go Title: Thomas in breakaway Content: Now then, there's finally a gap... and British veteran Geraint Thomas is among the lead group. The 2018 race winner is racing in the Tour for the 14th and final time before retiring and has got clear in a five-man breakaway. Update: Date: 147km to go Title: Post Content: Now Wout van Aert tries again, with Mathieu van der Poel's yellow jersey among those trying to go with him. Update: Date: 155km to go Title: Post Content: It's no wonder the wannabe breakaway riders have been struggling to get away, the peloton has averaged 55km per hour so far. This year's stage takes place in Brittany and Valentin Madouas, one of seven Breton riders in the Tour, now makes a second attempt. Update: Date: 162km to go Title: Post Content: Bahrain Victorious have just been on the team radio, singing 'happy birthday' to Lenny Martinez. The French climber turns 22 today, while UAE's Pavel Sivakov turns 28... what better way to celebrate than clinching a prestigious victory at Mur-de-Bretagne?! Update: Date: 165km to go Title: Post Content: There have been a number of attacks from the front of the peloton but the likes of Victor Campenaerts (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Marc Soler (UAE) have been quick to bring the bunch back, to protect their GC contenders - Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar. Update: Date: 175km to go Title: Post Content: Just like yesterday, Wout van Aert is unable to establish himself in a breakaway as he and Mauro Schmid are caught by the peloton. Update: Date: 178km to go Title: Post Content: As we reached the 1,000km of this year's race, EF Education-EasyPost were on the team radio, warning their riders to look out for UAE Team Emirates-XRG at the front of the peloton as Tadej Pogacar's team will be looking to take control of the stage. The total distance of this year's Tour is 3,338.8km so we're almost a third of the way through. There will be a lot more elevation gain in the last two weeks though, when we head into the mountains. Update: Date: 190km to go Title: Post Content: Today's stage is already under way, with Belgian star Wout van Aert and Swiss road and time trial champion Mauro Schmid first to go clear of the peloton. Van Aert tried to break away yesterday but ultimately the Visma-Lease a Bike rider could not make it stick. Update: Date: 12:13 BST Title: What's in store for stage seven? Content: A 197km hilly stage begins on the north coast in Saint-Malo and passes through Yffiniac, the home village of five-time winner Bernard Hinault, during a relatively tame opening 175km. However, expect bedlam as the finishing line approaches with a closing circuit that mirrors the 2021 stage, which was won by current race leader Mathieu van der Poel. The Mur-de-Bretagne, which ramps up above 10%, features twice and explosiveness and tactical nous will determine how things play out. There is an intermediate sprint followed by three categorised climbs, the third ramping up to the finish, taking the total elevation gain to 2,450m. Update: Date: 12:09 BST Title: What happened yesterday? Content: Ireland's Ben Healy produced a stunning solo break to win stage six of the Tour de France while Mathieu van der Poel regained the race leader's yellow jersey. Healy and Van der Poel spent most of the 201.5km hilly stage in an eight-man breakaway before the former attacked with 42km remaining. The EF Education-EasyPost rider then pulled away to claim his first stage win on the Tour, crossing the line in Vire Normandie almost three minutes before Quinn Simmons and Michael Storer. Update: Date: 12:04 BST Title: Bonjour Content: Welcome back to BBC Sport's live text coverage of the 2025 Tour de France. Mathieu van der Poel reclaimed the race leader's yellow jersey from Tadej Pogacar by just one second after a gruelling stage six. But will the Dutch rider be able to recover in time for today's stage or will reigning champion Pogacar go back to the top of the general classification standings?

UAE name powerful team to support Pogacar in Tour de France
The 26-year-old Slovenian has ridden the three-week Tour five times, winning three and finishing second to Jonas Vingegaard in 2022 and 2023. "It's hard to believe it's already my sixth Tour de France, time flies," he said in the team press release. He started the season by taking the UAE Tour, then won four one-day races, including Liege-Bastogne-Liege, finishing on the podium in three others. He ended his Tour preparation by winning the penultimate warm-up event, the eight-day Criterium du Dauphine. "I'm lucky to have had close to the perfect preparation this year — everything has gone really smoothly," said Pogacar. He will be backed by five of the team-mates who helped him to victory in the Dauphine -- Marc Soler, Nils Politt, Pavel Sivakov, Tim Wellens and Jhonatan Narvaez. Reflecting the depth of the UAE squad, they will be joined by Adam Yates and Joao Almeida, who both finished in the top six in last year's Tour de France. In Pogacar's absence, Almeida won the final Tour warm-up, the Tour of Switzerland, for his third stage-race victory this season. "The vibes in the team are amazing right now, and that gives me a lot of confidence," said Pogacar. Team UAE Tour de France squad: Joao Almeida (POR), Jhonatan Narvaez (ECU), Tadej Pogacar (SLO), Nils Politt (GER), Pavel Sivakov (FRA), Marc Soler (ESP), Tim Wellens (BEL), Adam Yates (GBR).
