Tour de France 2025 results: Paret-Peintre denies Healy in thrilling stage 16 win

Valentin Paret-Peintre produced a late sprint to get past Ben Healy and claim a stunning win on stage 16 of the Tour de France.

After a thrilling battle up the iconic Mont Ventoux climb, Healy looked set to claim his second win of this year’s Tour as he emerged from the final bend in the lead.

But Paret-Peintre, 24, fought back to deny the Irishman, also 24, and become the first French winner this year.

Jonas Vingegaard repeatedly attacked Tadej Pogacar on the climb but finished sixth fractionally after the Slovenian, meaning the reigning champion increased his overall lead by two seconds.

Healy’s late effort was enough for the EF Education-EasyPost rider, who claimed his first Tour win on stage six and spent two days in the yellow jersey, to leapfrog Carlos Rodriguez to ninth overall.

British rider Oscar Onley, 22, fell away from the yellow jersey group on the climb and lost some time to Florian Lipowitz and Primoz Roglic, who are now either side of the fourth-placed Scot in the general classification standings.
