Stage 15 of the Tour de France 2025 is off to a lively start, with Tim Wellens making a bold solo move while confusion swirls around Julian Alaphilippe’s positioning. The peloton is trailing Tadej Pogačar’s group by about a minute, and so far, the stage has been too chaotic for any serious breakaway to stick.

Editor’s Note: The Tour de France is always full of drama, and today’s stage is no exception. Wellens’ solo effort could shake things up, but the real intrigue lies in Alaphilippe’s situation—why the confusion? Is he struggling, or is there a tactical play at work? For cycling fans, this is the kind of mid-race tension that makes the Tour so gripping.
