Jasper Philipsen wins the first stage of the 2025 Tour de France, starting and finishing in Lille, 184.9 km.

The wind greatly influences the first part of the race, with a couple of escape attempts that are caught by the main group.

Bad news arrived almost immediately, with the withdrawal of Filippo Ganna due to a fall in the very first kilometers of the Tour.

In the last 20 km the wind starts to mix things up again and the men of Team Visma create fans that break the group. In front remain Pogacar and Vingegaard and Philipsen and Girmay among the sprinters, while Evenepoel, Roglic, Milan and Merlier remain behind in the second group.

In the final, Alpecin, still strong, works perfectly for Philipsen who capitalizes easily and takes the first yellow jersey. Girmay and Waerenskjold place themselves on the podium. 5th Trentin.

The second group, led by Milan, arrives 40" late.
